And no. Again. It says COMPETITIVE (e.g., timed, many laps over many days, etc.) If you are racing competitively in timed events, or anything of that nature, you should forget your warranty.. seems fair doesn't it? If you're going to the odd casual track day (notably, ones put on by BMW), they aren't going to see you there and outright void your warranty.

Of course, they will not warranty your clutch, brakes, etc. that are subject to the abuse of track days. How is this not obvious to anyone? Are you guys suggesting you will try to claim warranty on prematurely worn parts from the track?

Now if it's your engine or transmission, something major, that could get interesting. But like I said, if BMW is putting on the track day, GO. And don't worry about it. Also note, it asks you to visit the dealership PRIOR to attending the track day. This is part of establishing liability and ensuring a happy outcome.
