I also agree with darge82 That you may want to request a BMW Engineer, escalate the issue with BMW.

I doubt this is a issue, more of a dealership doesn't know what the issue is and how to fix it. I wouldn't have regret on the suspension bro. BMW will fix it, its just the right people need to get involved.

You will have your track car back.
I'm fearing more cars will have issues as more and more owners start tracking their cars hard. I got mine last August and have tracked it about 8 times, didn't start to have problems til the last few track days. I do think it's something small causing this, they just can't pinpont it yet.

Good thing I have my reliable E36 track car too or I'd be really annoyed.

Alignment is perfect, I made small adjustments for the track, but the code came up before I made those adjustments.

I agree that it seems like an issue particular to your car. [In general, the F8X has been pretty solid IMO, first year model or not] I don't blame BMW for doing the least expensive/cheapest/easiest thing first; I'm sure it's part of their algorithm. It just becomes a rather huge annoyance for you. At this point, I'd think it's time for BMW to throw everything and the the kitchen sink at it and get it fixed. GL, and keep us updated.
Agree, I'll keep everyone posted. When I dropped it off with last time, I told them to take their time and get to the root cause. I didn't take a loaner and didn't bug them at all while they had the car for 10 days.
