I will be using it on the street as well, but I will be tracking it very often.
Starting to think the E46 M3 might be the better choice also.

Don't really care about the SA. I will be working on the car myself.
I am just worried about the twin turbos and how much abuse they can take.

No limp modes, conservative tune, upgraded brakes, wheels, tires, exhaust, and suspension (coilovers). Car does run hot if ambient air temp is over about 80 degrees. I would not do a 105 degree event at Buttonwillow/Willow Springs/Thunderhill in the summer months.

Looks good, sounds like if I keep the engine near stock form it shouldn't be a problem. But I am not sure if I can stay away from the easy power upgrades like procede.

This is what I am worried about. I remember edmunds or MT testing the 335i around the track, after about 5 laps it went into limp mode.
