IMHO, the Z4M Roadster is one of the best bang for the buck M available.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."

Why do car folk never seem to consider track day cars? If you want a third car toy, and youre enthusiastic about driving, why not get something purpose built that isn't some crappy compromise between road and track. Something like a caterham would be fun on weekends on a favourite road as well as running circles around any BMW tank at the track.

My '07 E86 with 2 years, 3k miles since owning will get it's second oil change since having when it's out of hibernation next year for its current maintenance bill. To add like any BMW expect somewhere down the line to do the OFHG and VCG maybe vanos/solenoids, disa, those costs are in my E85 maintenance log & costs.

Also any car can really be a track car. You can take pretty much anything to HPDE events. Is a purpose built track car better? Yes. But I'm probably not good enough of a driver to appreciate it anyways. I've always taken my fun cars to the track when the opportunity arose. Unfortunately they keep raising the prices and you also use to be able to just do 1 day like Sat OR Sun. Now they are forcing you to do 2 days basically doubling the price. I'm sure there's other clubs that don't do that, but that's the one everyone I know goes to.
