speaking of safety equipment, does anyone know where i could go to test fit a few devices like the simpson hybrid? i have a larger upper body, but i'm kinda slim at the same time. i already know that i'm going to fit weird into some devices.

m3 and 335 trunks are the same, right? i found a painted trunk for sale and the seller said it was about 50 lbs. all other sources i've seen have said 30 lbs. i'm not sure if he's estimating or what.

Getting my alignment done tomorrow. I just picked up a new set of street tires so want to get this right. 255/275 S-04's on the street, 275/295 NT-05's (140 treadwear version, think NT-01) on the track. My alignment guy offered to give me a marked system that I can adjust before/after track weekends or set and forget. ~8 track days per year (usually 2 days in a row).
Tracks: MSR-H MSR-C COTA I am leaning set and forget and the following as a street/track compromise alignment: -2.3F -1.6R 1/16" toe-in F (total on axle) 1/16" toe-IN R (total on axle) Thoughts/comments/suggestions welcome.

-2.6 degrees Front / -2.0 degrees rear camber. 1/32" toe in Front 1/16" toe in Rear Worked well in my situation. Just my 2 cents. Now that I have a daily driver, I will be getting more aggressive with the alignment in the interest of tire preservation.

Set it and forget it for the track. Just flip and rotate your daily tires well. They'll last long.

So this is the first time I've trusted someone else to install parts on my car but I'm using someone Ortho recommended so I feel pretty good about it.
Going in today: Vorshlag Camber Plates, Bimmerworld Group-N-style engine mounts, Rogue Front Tension Arm Bushings (street), PFC08 OEM Rear pads, Castrol SRF brake fluid flush, alignment. Can't wait to get my car back and test the new setup on the track in September!

That's a lot of stuff!
I'm heading over to MRF for solid subframe/diff bushings and vibra technics motor mounts.

Nice! Curious to hear your thoughts after. Which diff bushings? Since I am optimizing my car for dual duty still I am leaning powerflex purple (DCT) but would still go solid subframe mounts.
