And more you track - more expensive it becomes. So if you are concerned about budget I would recommend e36 or e46. e92 platform is going to cost you much more.

I've owned both and tracked both
I think a lightly modded E9X will be the same speed as the 'track car' E36/46 with minimal mods and reliability that is an order of magnitude higher than the older cars.
People focus a lot on '40 dollar brakes' on their E36 or whatever but then when the diff gets torn clean off the car and you have to pay 4k to put it back in, well, they kind of forget that
You would have to pay me massive amounts of money to own a E36/46 track car. Been there, done that, never again.
The E36 and E46 chassis is licensed from Haribo because it is made out of friggin gummy bears.
I am quite confident that if you plot lap time vs expense the E9X comes out on top.
