I have done a track weekend with my M2C at VIR. It's quite capable out of the box on a big track like that. I'm the first to admit that I'm not at the pro level but still get a lot out of the car and the experience. Note I've had many BMWs there over the years but have yet to go for a dedicated track car. That and the fact that its only 1-2 times per year has kept my skill level from progressing beyond intermediate.
A few VIR laps in 2019:

Just for fun, I compared laps times:
M5 (assume nearly full lap with no cuts) pro driver, 3 passengers, demonstration lap no helmets.
M2C amateur driver, dedicated track day, helmets, and I was 7 seconds slower for the same section (full lap except for front straight).
