Novice at the Nurburgring?

[anomaly]

I'm looking for some advice please. I'm touring around Germany in my BMW 1M in June. I'd love a few laps of the 'ring when I'm there but am very apprehensive. The 1M is my daily driver and although I like to consider myself a reasonable driver I have practically no track experience. Reading the thread about insurance at the Nurburgring has really put me off: I can't afford to wreck my car. Is it really practical (or sensible) to turn up one evening and do a few laps with minimal risk or is it a crazy dream? Thanks

Thanks all for the advice, lots to think about. Although a track virgin, its something I'd love to get into. Just not sure that the Nurburgring in my daily with no insurance is the best way to dip a toe in the water! I'll keep you posted...
