Most of us have other cars for DD duty. So that category doesn't really ping on the radar.
True getting it wrong in such a car could be devastating and potentially kill you so there is that safety issue.

Well depends on how BMW warrants the car what type of warranty can you leave on car that is purposely built for track, What be covered under warranty have read a lot of post here where people drove the car in a certain way and BMW denied them warranty coverage for that particulate failure.

So if they leave same warranty on CSL model as on a standard then i would be worried specially if the CSL is track built but BMW denies warranty claims for driving it to hard so a component fails.

Well rebuilding a car your self is always gonna be risk that is true but a lot of people will either tune the CSL och replace part for even more performance witch also will void warranty and might cause failures due to it.

Its just the price they probably will be asking for it might make it kinda weird to pay over premium for car like the BMW M2 when there will be a lot of competition in that region that might be better for even track usage and dd in that term.
