Tracking cars is expensive.. to me budget is precedent over anything. If you've got a lot of disposable income I don't believe there's any real benefit of getting a dedicated shitbox unless you want to limit your financial exposure on the track, sure you'll learn how to get the most out of a slower car but ultimately you'll want more, unless you want to get competitive and run in a class like with a Miata or Toyota 86.
Don't get me wrong that's still a lot of $ and a ton of fun with some amazing, dedicated drivers just depends what you want out of it. My last 4 track days have been back on bikes, for me it makes more sense, it's a lot cheaper, a lot of fun and I've got a good friend to go with. I believe bikes are safer too on the track, they have a smaller profile and riders are typically more skilled and aware of their own health and safety. Expensive cars sometimes bring ego's and car drivers try and out drive their skill set but I guess that depends who you track with. I've tracked my m3 too and I will again but tbh I can't afford to crash it or to be crashed into and I've had/seen a few horror stories and close calls in cars a lot more than on bikes, some even in the parking lot.
