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.

Your car is 4 yrs older than mine and your talking what I can and can't afford? it doesnt matter to me if its not a hand built exotic..its new
If my car was 5yrs old maybe I wouldnt give a crap about tracking it, but for now I prefer to use it spiritedly on the street, I in no way baby my car when driving it.. but I just dont want to accept the risks associated with going to the track
