I think he believes a tireferry brings those to us, since in the years together, I can't recall him doing anything to the cars.

There boys, stfu, I have spoken.
My car is my sanctuary, so the wife typically doesn't ride in it. If she loved the M4, then I would seriously be getting something else. In the rare occasion that she does ride in my car, I will take it easy because I don't want my life at home to be hell.

I don't have a commute any longer since I'm retired. I will treat my M4 the same way I did my E39 M5.

DRIVE IT LIKE I STOLE IT!!!!

Just let those CHiPers try to catch me in their Ford Exploders!!!

Of course, they'll cheat with radios and air support. Then get myself a good lawyer.

Two track only responders! Seems like the most bizarre track-only car....unless doing some kind of local series based on porky road cars (calm down everyone I mean relative to track specials or more pure sport oriented cars) Interested to hear from you two - why the M for a track only?

Inquiring minds want to know. It's rather silly to spend $62k+ on a brand new track-only car.

Or, I mean if someone has that kind if capital to burn on a dedicated track machine, more power to them, but why dump it into a luxury car?

My guess is the two that said they will use this as a track car will in fact keep the car street legal and drive it on the street. That being said we have seen race car builds in the E9x M3 with forum before so they are out there. But most of those are bought used or salvage even and given a new lease on life.

Well what a complete shocker... out of 90 votes... 30 said they would do any sort of tracking and this is an enthusiast website. In reality, it would be safe to assume to cut that in half out in the real world... yet the track talk never stops.

Move to the garage?

I'm actually considering this option for myself now.

My E92 M3 is my daily driver. I currently have over 99,000 miles on it. I'll post a pic of the instrument cluster over the in other section (the E9x M3 section) when I hit 100,000! So, yeah, I expect it to be a daily driver for me.


Cheers.

I have an announcement to make: I'm changing my vote from Garage Quuen to Daily Commuter.

This change of heart came right after my test drive.
