I've always wanted to make the move to a dedicated track car so I can finally get away from beating up my street car. It's always a challenge to try and find stuff that's streetable but also trackable. The C7 has been an amazing dual-purpose vehicle but it's probably too nice to be turned into a track car.

I'm thinking that within the next few years I want to get a dedicated track car and just relegate myself to a more mundane DD, possibly even a truck so I could tow the car if I want to. Obviously an E90/E92 M3 would be very high on my list of possible cars but I really don't know the first thing about picking such a vehicle.

Can we discuss some of the budgeting considerations for an E90/E92 M3 track car? My new coach/instructor was talking about the cost of repairs resulting from offs, like bumpers and radiators. That's not even something that had occurred to me. I generally just think of basic consumables like tires, brakes, gas along with the entry fees.
