Do you track your M3?

synclastica_86 · 09-01-2008, 05:19 AM

So what do you use your M3 for? Is it an exclusive track toy for you or do you take your kids to school in it? Feel free to throw in some innovative uses for the M3.

booforty · 09-01-2008, 05:40 AM

Its my weekend/fun car but I tracked it on Friday too

Battle · 09-01-2008, 06:29 AM

I would use it as DD and do track 2-3x / year.

sayemthree · 09-01-2008, 06:32 PM

its my third car- its a DD - I take kids to school in it AND I track it12-14 days a year.

your poll doesnt cover that option.

If so, you'll have to keep your kids real fit to be comfortable in the back of your E92.

alpinweiße92///M3 · 09-01-2008, 10:02 PM

Ill be tracking it (I tracked my old one) as well as using it as my DD..

masmole · 09-01-2008, 11:26 PM

Daily driver in the summer and when the weather is nice. Garage queen in the winter and when the weather sucks. At the track getting a good flogging about 4-5 weekends a year.

sfbimmer13 · 09-01-2008, 11:28 PM

daily driver, but bought it for the track too

so far 5 track days and second set of brakes (rotors and pads)

Wait... 2nd set of breaks because you want more performance or because they are dead after just 5 track days?

booforty · 09-02-2008, 10:13 AM

Good to see M3 owners using the car for what it was designed for, some serious track day fun!

We need an "all of the above" answer on the survey.

Did the brakes get replaced for free or did your dealership not cover the brakes due to track use?

Safe for now, two girls, I doubt they'll have issues anytime soon. In fact, going out in the M Sat night with four adults, the people in back said they felt ok, not bad all.

Back on topic, so far very functional as a DD and track car. Need to find a track soon to let loose. Anything with instruction in Oct?

I took care of the replacement myself, due to scheduling issues with my dealership- next time they have to pay...

Sedan_Clan · 09-02-2008, 02:02 PM

While I have taken my '03 to the California Speedway to run the 1/4 mile, and have taken the '05 to the road course, I don't regularly attend the track. I'd like to attend more often, but work (..and other extra-curricular activities) really makes it more difficult for me.

Then comes the issue of riding my street bike at the track/in the canyons.....grrr! Expenses.......expenses!
