The M4 was no slouch at Cadwell Park
I took part in a sprint day recently in my old AY 2016 M4 just before I traded it for a new 2017 SMB one. Drove it there, took part, had fun, drove it home. Tyres were MPSS and standard everything else as i'd returned it to standard for trade in. No Pagid RS29's anymore. No braided brake lines. No decent fluid but I have to say the car went well, even though I found myself using all the driver aids, not wanting to damage it before trading it for my new car the following week!!! haha.
Anyway, I got 4th in class, missing out on a place by 0.8 sec. Only beaten by a full race Lotus Exige with semi slicks, an old 70's Ford escort MK2 full rally/race car and a Porsche. (grrr) Camera is the gopro hero 5 session mounted on the external tow point BMW mount. There was time to be made up i'm sure but with 10 minutes between each run and only 8 runs over the day, even though I managed to improve my lap times by an average of 0.75 secs each time I went out, I was holding back. The BMW Laptimer App worked well too and showed up to 200kmh at one point and also 1g going into some corners, on road tyres.

Nice.
Did you tick the box 'car has never been used for track events etc' on the trade in documents?

Actually no. Problem was, dealership had a few issues they needed to work out with me and it was never going to be an issue. But saying that, the paperwork never actually asked that specific question. It did ask if it had been used as a taxi, I answered truthfully.
And if I was you, i'd never ever buy a white second hand M4. I know a thing or two about those ones.
