Well sad news. I could not work out an acceptable price with my local BMW dealer and ended up purchasing a 2011 Boxster instead. I was really excited about the 228i with the Track Package but couldn't get the M Sport with the exterior color I wanted. I almost pulled the trigger on the Sport line but really do not like the wheels at all.
So, I am going to try a dedicated sportscar. The Porsche Club allows the Boxster out for driving schools on the track because of the dedicated roll bar so hope keep my skills up. In three years I will look at the M2, used M3 or a M235i
