Who here is going to track their E92 M3?
I (finally) finished reading the June 2007 Roundel article, which had all the details on the new V8. Wow, all the technology.... this engine is just begging to be tracked. No dry sump, but oiling that is supposed to handle up to 1.4 g's.... not bad.
I wasn't going to do it, but now I'm pretty sure I will track this car at least a little bit - sunroof and all! (my main track car will still be a Honda S2000) Anyone else? |

Whatever I end up getting (E90 M3 is the current favorite) will see at least 4-5 HPDE's a year

You guys get an extra years warranty std, 4 years on brakes for free... what else?? makes me when you then moan about the price of the cars aswell!! In the UK cars are twice the price, only 3yrs warranty and NO free servicing. Think 1200miles is free on M's... |

Actually, I am rather pissed that I need to pay for tires and fuel:mad:. What the hell is all that about? It's great that we have other BMW consumers around the world who are willing to subsidize our maintenance expenses; I mean, BMW has to make money overall at a global scale to stay in business, right?
P.S. Do consider moving... |

I generally go to the track in whatever Porsche I'm driving at the moment, but I think the new M3 will a great car for the track, and with a few tweaks will embarass many sports cars in fine M tradition.
