Interesting watch.

i get one clear message.. running a track spec M3 cost ridiculous amount of money..

BMW was running an E60 M5 for many years on track without touching the car that much.. might be way to make some profit for these guys + people can have taxi ride cheaper..

My take away was E90 rear hub bearings are beefier than FM3s

F series saved weight by making them thinner.

The driveshaft wear was also interesting.

I saw that very car when I was there this summer

Also the McLaren was super beat up when I came up close.

Makes me not wanna track my car anymore haha

From what I remember their e92 and F80 were both built by Team Schirmer. The suspension and setup is kept secret.
