Thank you for all the information! Great resources and suggestions. I will definitely look into the rally school, sounds like it would be a great thing to do this winter, if possible.

— More updates to follow as my seat time increases. The last of the season schedule:

October 10, 2020 New York Safety Track (NYST)
October 17, 2020 Club Motorsports
October 25, 2020 Palmer Motorsports Park
November 8, 2020 Canaan Motor Club

I’m resisting the urge to modify the car in any way while getting started. It’s already great.

With that said, here are some “modest” ideas for the future, sans engine/power mods:

fall work:

Driver
SCHROTH Quick Fit Pro 4P Harness
Typ 200 brake fluid
Driver
Try not to decimate Conti DWS’s

winter work:

GC or Vorschlag camber plates
Alcantara Coby wheel w/ 12 mark
Stainless brake lines by Turner

$pring/summer:

TR Motorsport C4 18x8 et40 245/35/18 x 4 MPS4S
Dinan springs/bump stops
Driver
Driver
Driver

2021-2022:

Hotchkis or H&R Swaybars w End Links
Quaife LSD

Am I missing anything obvious?

And keeping the original post alive, I found this picture today which really surprised me. Combined with the fact that I have a light version 228i -3,300#, this really gives me hope that my boat can feel as planted as the E36 someday.

UPDATE: ordered the SCHROTH Quick Fit Pro Harness
Doing oil and brake fluid tomorrow.
I have a feeling by this winter I’ll be posting my own track build thread LOL.

Here we go...
