E90 M3
Track/course: Thunderhill w/Bypass
Best Lap Time: 2:00.98
Brakes: AP Racing - Cobalt Friction XR2 front/XR3 rear
Tires: Hankook TD - 295/30/18 square on Apex Arc-8 10.5"
Suspension: JRZ RS Pro

I think with a little more line work and understanding exit speeds, going sub-2:00 should be very doable. I only had one day there, so I'm happy with this result. Unfortunately, it's almost 500 miles from me so I won't be getting back there for awhile.
The track was buzzing because the new 2-mile section is now fully paved and will be opening I think this weekend.

Nice time. Sub 2 is definitely doable. I know a stock-powered, non-aero E46 M3 that does 1:56 with the by pass. Some really fast guys at T Hill.
