The last mainstream homologous special with a roll cage was what, the E36 M3 LTW?

Optimism is always welcome!
They're still racing. Borderline outdated equipment for the time being, but nonetheless. You'll still see Bill Auberlen and plenty of M cars on an IMSA weekend. And yeah, M4 GT3 pending, M2 CS Racing is awesome.
"Mainstream" with roll cage? No, but GTS has one. They need to keep that going, just add compatible seats and harnesses this time around so it's not some sort of cruel joke.
