A little bit worried though about how the automatic box will hold up to that many track days a year even if serviced more frequently. Am I worried about nothing or should I really be looking at cars that have a DSG box.
I wouldn't worry about the transmission but about the brakes if the car doesn't have the THP... stock sliding caliper 228 brakes are not meant for much abuse....

transmission is the same used in the M235i R so if it's good for the racing version it should be good for the 228 which has less torque...
