Sorry, thread is a bit old BUT it is an interesting topic of conversation. Esp

It is true I see a lot of e90 and especially e92 M3's but not too many non-M's. Despite having a lot of potential as a fun track car. I think it has a lot to do with the type of people who bought them new. They are ten years old which is not new but not super old. Many may still be with original owners. People who spend $40k on a brand new non-M aren't necessarily thinking of tracking it right away. Or if they we're, the $40k would go a lot further on something late-90's with track mods. Whereas the M3 was designed to handle track duty right off the dealer lot (for the most part) and the type of buyer is more likely to be thinking about going to the track.

Does that kind of make sense? That's my hypothesis at least lol

Edit: Shoutout to edycol for ripping around the track on the daily grocery getter snow car kid hauler. One car to rule them all. I love and respect that. I have similar plans myself. There will be some DM's in the coming months lol.
