The first M Experience event I attended was in September 2015 with my local BMW CCA chapter and cost $199. The second one I attended was in January 2016 and that one cost $209. Our chapter just did another one in January for $220. They're doing it again in January 2018 for $225, so the costs are going up.
The M Track Day I attended last September was at no cost and also included lunch. This is usually after the event if it's a morning event, or before the event if it's an afternoon event, although the e-mail and the website doesn't specifically mention lunch.
Here's the details from the e-mail:
PUSH LIMITS. BREAK RECORDS.
No red lights. No speed limits. This is an unparalleled kind of driving.

At thermal are you actually driving on the track, or do they have cones set up in the parking lot and your doing an autocross type event. If it is 200$ for a track day, thats a deal, but if it is autocross, thats boring.
