No road car with a 3-5 year warranty is built to do track days. Not a single one. They're just too hard on components no matter what the car is. You might be lucky and get away with a shit load of them but one day something will give.

Absolute drivel and false.
Porsches and BMW are both built for some pretty hard track use and abuse. Obviously with Porsche generally speaking exceeding BMW in this particular area. As well both companies will cover you under warranty when using the car on the track. Hell the M3 manual even tells you how to prepare for track driving and as long as it is not competitive you are covered. I can post the quote from the manual if you care to see it. BMW will even cover pads and rotors based on track use. However, most realize it is not a legitimate thing to request of BMW.

It is cheating if all cars are delivered with the same factory adjustments/settings to the suspension and then the car is adjusted differently and the car is claimed to be "showroom stock".
I disagree with other points you've made as well in your last couple of posts but the first above was the real glaring error and you basically stated it twice.
