Plus, I mean, BMW organizes track events for us to attend as owners… imagine our cars breaking down and them saying “yeah you’re SOL, I built this event and invited you but you shouldn’t have come!”
So, one ancedotal internet source in the UK, that proves the point outright, sure. And in that specific case, the poster didn't state to the SA the engine blew up during a track event; the UK dealer found out on its own the incident happened on a track and first denied the warranty claim. Then the poster had to get free legal representation. So yeah, let that one single incident be proof that BMW doesn't reject warranty claims for track use.

Regarding BMW track days. My understanding is that BMW N.A. sponsored track days use BMW corporate cars rather than the owner's personal cars (that'd be an insurance nightmare for BMW).

The language in the citation I provided is clear. Every warranty claim is adjudicated by the manufacturer on a case-by-case basis. But you are free to take your chances with your car.
