Why aren't there more track cars?

I love how you went from "why am I doing this" to "fuck it we're doing it baby!" in a matter of 4 posts. I respect that. Start a separate build thread with pics if you haven't already. Sounds like a dope car.

Went with the Wavetrac (complete 3.08 pumpkin from Diffsonline) and retrofitted a 650i finned diff cover. Did the install last weekend on ramps in the garage. Pretty straight forward but the 50mm driveshaft nut was a gigantic pain in the ass.

Phenomenal improvement but am still breaking it in. Should have done this 8 years ago when I got the car.

Shame on BMW for not making this a factory option.

Yeah they didn't want it to compete with the m3 which makes sense. At least there are plenty of diff options now.
