Thanks - we've really worked hard on it this past year and a half to get it dialed in to where it is. It's actually a much better deal now than when I bought it.

We've started work on an e46 M3 race car, so once that's ready to roll, wifey said I can't keep both :(

It's a great reliable track car for someone on the path to becoming a racer (schools, racing schools, racing license) - the car's reliability is something we've really improved over the last year and a half.

isnt there a rule that you can only race them until they hit 8 years old... hence the move to the E46??

There's limits on age eligibility in some classes of racing (SCCA Touring like T1, T2, SCCA Speed World Challenge and others), but there will always be a class for all BMW models in BMW Club Racing (you still see 2002s and lots of e30s on the track).

Free bump for a good car. I was one of the drivers of this car in that NASA 3-hour enduro posted about in the original post. The car's well set up and reliable. Very predictable considering it's weight. Somebody buy it so he can finish the E46 and I can race that too!! ;)

That was a great drive by you taking the first shift of that enduro. I think you went about an hour and 40 or 45 minutes before coming in and had the car in great position in the field. :buttrock

Haha! That bastard! Every time I turned that car over to another driver, it was every bit as good and fast as when I got it! Tell Warren to play nice in the sandbox!

With the e36 M3 (which you did a great job behind the wheel of) sold, I can now focus on the new M3 racer.

I can see a scenario in the future where perhaps you and Ralph team up for either a BMW CR 'enduro' or one of those NASA 3 hours that get scheduled during the day when the weather isn't too hot (like in 2005 when they had the day enduro at Thunderhill in Feb.). :)
