paint damage can happen anywhere. in fact i get a lot more paint damage on the road with all those tiny rocks kicked up by transport trucks than on the track. besides, you're not driving a hand-made italian exotic. you're driving a souped up glorified dime-a-dozen 3 series. 10 years from now, your car will be worth nothing, and its resale value won't hold up just because the paint is pristine.

and yes brake pads and tires are consumables. and yes they wear out much more quickly on the track than on the street. what's your point? are you telling me you can afford to buy an expensive car like the M3 but are too poor to drop $1000 a year or so on pads and tires? no one said tracking is cheap, but unless you will be competing in 24h of nurburgring, or you really make minimum wage, going to the track will not break your budget.
