This is exceptionally true. I'd say at least 30-40% of the cars at my local HPDEs are e36 or e46. Part of this is the robust parts support, popularity of race class, and economy to run.
I truly feel that if one wants to be develop solid fundamentals of driving on a road course, it is imperative to start with a balanced momentum car. Horsepower can cover up alot of poor execution and line selection. Not to mention, really exacerbate mistakes if misapplied. The same holds true for drivers that jump over to slicks too soon.
