Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

I love how these folks are so sure that the "only" way to enjoy M3 is by tracking, so I suppose the overwhelming majority of M3 owners are not enjoying theirs..ridiculous. |

you can partially enjoy it this way. wont know til you try then you will be hooked and get it. there is no equating hard street driving if your crazy enough for that to actual track time. its a night and day difference in how you use the car and skills you develop.

Why ridiculous? It's true. Where I live, in Markham north of Toronto, there are a lot of rich Chinese immigrants that buy their young kids brand new M3's. Where I live an M3 is as common as a Camry. You see all those young teenage boys and girls in e92 and e93 M3 all over the neighbourhood and hardly anyone of them has probably ever driven faster than the speed limit. Forget the track. Most of them don't even go for a spirited drive on the street. They just buy those cars to pose and look good in them. You can put them in a e92 328i with an M3 bodykit conversion and they wouldn't know the difference.

Not the only way to have fun in an M3 but it's definitely among the best ways

Those who doesn't track will never understand those who do. That is fine with me, more track time for me. The worst thing Top Gear did was run that episode of Clarkson trying to do a 10 min lap at the Ring with a diesel Jag. After that, every Brit rushed to the Ring and congested the place ever since. But make no mistakes, the track separates the men from the boys. I can destroy any one of these bone heads on the street thinking they're hot shit but I just laugh and let them be on their way because I know what the real deal is. Bring it to the track and I will smoke you like a cheap cigar.

And dare I say video games, including BMW M3 Challenge. The most important thing that I've learned from all the above mentioned learning aids is that vision (obvious it may seem) trumps all. If you can't keep your head up, you're going to get into trouble.

One auto-x down and track next month. I've owned my E90 since September. It is my daily driver and will see a lot of track time as well!

Arguments b/w those that track their cars and those that don't are the same as those b/w Dems and Republicans when it comes to tax hikes and goverment spending. Everyone only sees their point of view as the end all solution.
To each their own. The only track experience I ever had was when I went out to Vegas and payed to track a Lambo Gallardo and F430 scudaria at that the Las vegas exotics racing gig. That was fun as hell and really changed my mind on tracking. I do plan on taking my car out to Lime Rock park this coming season during one of the Bmw CCA events.
