If I could afford one (markups in my area were $50K) I'd buy one and keep it forever as a track day toy while I drove something like a 330e daily.

Maybe for those who only drive bmws and nothing else, yes. But, for those who don't care about the badge, porsche cayman gt4 would be a far more suited track-day toy than a G80 platform ever could.
The whole point of a G80 is that it's a complete package of comfort, practicality, and it has a good amount of performance (acceleration and handling). Once you start stripping away the comfort and practicality from the package, and then tack on a significant price premium on top of that, it immediately stops making sense. If comfort or practicality don't matter so much, then it'd be a p-car for the trackdays all day long.
Just my two cents.
