I attended one PCA autocross last year in my E92. The car actually got a lot of looks from the Porsche guys, my thought was a lot of those guys probably had one before.

I'll admit, I am not a BMW fan at all. My i8 ownership was too sleep-inducing. My drives in F8x Mx, M5s, and even an M6 GC left me severely wanting. I stuck with E63s, Panameras, etc.
But the S65... there's only one 8600 rpm V8 available out there in pristine condition in the $40k-ish or less.
E46 does do anything for me. Even the E9x chassis is....... meh. But the S65. There aren't other engines out there in a price range that one can beat on the track surrounded by others of questionable skills.

Are you out at PIR this year? I only got one event in last year because I needed to finish up my Master's. I am planning on doing more PCA autocross and start trying track night in America this year.
