Had first Track event today! M3 is a great car!
I just finished the first track event in my life with my M3 today! I had AA full exhaust system with AA ECU and AA air filter. I ran four 30mins sections with one hour between. Since this is my first time, I wasn't push it too hard, and I am listening to my instructor the whole time. I passed lots of people in my Novice group! I think most of them except my friend's EVO which has 400+WHP. Our car with stock suspension and brake hold up great. And yes, stock brake fade started on my last two sections but I still able to finish it. No POWER STEERING FLUID overheat. Weather is about 75F.
Overall, Great first time experience in M3!

I just think its quite expensive to track a M3..I burned my rear tires. I think after another autox or track day, those are gone....

Think the track is really where you can appreciate the all around nature of this bad ass ride. Welcome to the party

HAHA~LOVE IT! I think I really need a race seat. Cuz I was everywhere during the turn. DO you think RECARO pole positon with stock seat belts good enough? or I need a six points one.

Bring your seat back a good amount... Lock your seat belt by pulling on it quickly and hold it so it stays locked. Then bring your seat forward back to your regular position. You'll be stuck in place. It takes a few tries, but it helped a good amount.

+2 on using the inertia lock. I like to dial in a "track postion" with the memory, then recline and slide back, lock the inertia lock, then recall your preset.
Another cheap alternative I do when I'm instructing is to twist the seatbelt before I click it in. There's also a G-lock, but I think they would shred your flesh in an accident. I'd reserve them for autox only. You don't need a racing bucket or harnesses (yet). Just wait until you get some sticky tires under you, then start thinking about seats/harness/roll bar.

As for AD08, they're a good street tire, but nothing near the grip of a r compound or slick. That's when you will be hanging on to the wheel and need better restraints.
