You could restore an old 2002 for a real driver's experience.
I believe M5 will be available as MT in USA. ABS is fine if it is threshold is low enough.

I don't know if many people go to track to get around as fast as possible. I know I don't.

I don't see myself buying any modern car for track duty... I'm still looking at cars like lotus elise/exige, porsche 944, e30/36 m3 etc...
