Not sure how often I will be tracking my 2010 m3 e92.
If I can get by using 20s I can buy new pads and personal equipment needed.

Congrats on getting out to the track! There are quite a few threads that discuss this:

In short, so long as your tires are in good shape, just use your 20" wheels. Make sure you have fresh fluid, >50% life on your pads and that your car is mechanically sound. This is your first time out so you want to just focus on driving, learning the basics and -most importantly- having fun.
If you decide to get out to the track more, then maybe it might make sense to invest in a set of dedicated wheels/tires. Hope this helps!
