I appreciate the write up and the experience. Not sure I agree with you here so correct me if I am wrong. The M3 has always been predominantly a street car for those that owned it. A minority of owners across the F8x gen track their cars, although you and I are in that minority.

However, hasn't that been the same for M3 owners across all 5 generations? If anything, it seems to me as a casual observer that people track their personal cars now more than ever.

The proliferation of driving clubs (with easy access on the internet to join and view events), the existence of websites like motorsportsreg that send me an email for any event with 250 miles of my zip, the videos we all see of laptimes, etc., it just seems more and more people are buying their own helmet on amazon and showing up to the track.
