Track Oil?

What weight oil are you guys who track your cars running? Does BMW recommend a specific oil for track use? I am coming from the Corvette C7 world and GM recommends changing their recommended Mobil1 5W30 street use fill to Mobil1 15W50 for track use. This got me wondering if BMW made any such recommendation? Thank You for any specific info any one can offer.

Nop, you shouldn't be bothered if you dont plan to keep the car out of warranty, and trackday it seriously every weekend.

There is no BMW specific recommendation which oil you should go with, but in general 0w40 should be good enough for trackday/street event.

It's the N55 engine so I would do what everyone else with that motor does. It's been around for awhile, should be a ton of info. Honestly I would call bimmerworld or one of those places.
