I appreciate the sentiment Swamp, but I am actually trying to say I probably will NOT track my new M3 if I buy it. (I will be tracking the new M3 in October in Germany, but the car will be owned by BMW, not me!)
I do not claim to be a big time racer or to have great skills at the track. My concern is whether the brakes on the new M3 will be up to the task for me, and not whether the brake hardware offers the best ultimate theoretical performance under all-out endurance race conditions.
I guess where I am coming from is all this angst about the brakes (and especially the number of pistons) to me seem: (1) premature, and (2) based on some Le Mans fantasy and not how most people who buy this car will actually use it.
