It's a sad day when everyone on a BMW forum is telling you to NOT track your 3 series.
BMWs used to be called the "ultimate" driving machine, because that's what they are. Fresh off the show-room floor they will go tear up the race track like few other cars on the market, and get you there and back COMFORTABLY while seating 4 (4 wheels and tires, that is. You know, so you can swap them out at the track).
It used to be that BMWs of yesterday's legend were as comfortable on track as they are on the street, as god (or BMW engineers) intended them to be. It certainly doesn't look that way anymore, when an econobox from the land of rising sun is a better choice of a track weapon as recommended on a BMW forum.
Sad day when my Hyundai Veloster Turbo, my daily commuter, probably has seen MORE track time than 99.99% of all the 3 series BMWs sold in People's Republic of California. As it is rolling off the showroom floor (well, not exactly. Had to replace the factory Kumho Souless tires with $70 'Champiros,' whatever they are, after ~3 years).
