Don't get me wrong; I've put $50k recently into ownership of an E90 specifically for the track and AutoX. But while I'm having a really good time out there and improving my game, I won't be setting any car-irrespective impressive laptimes.

By modern standards, yeah, but the E92 M3 is a 10 year old car at this point. When it came out, the power was plenty. I will concede that it's a bit under-tired, but obviously it's a street car first-and-foremost so BMW has to balance practical considerations like wheel cost and tire selection. The Camaro/Corvette/Mustang all have a lot more wheel and tire, but the replacement costs are ridiculous and selection is slim.
