I'm relatively new to the BMW brand but not to being a car enthusiast. I've been reading this thread and find myself in a bit of a bind.
I get that ///M cars are special, and have been more or less so across various years and models. In my case the Z4MC has several improvements over my Z4C that make it a better car for track duty, as well as a more satisfying car for those wanting a pure sporting drive. I was leaning more towards long weekend trips and the like and so consciously chose not to go with an ///M.
But do BMW ///M buyers really purchase them to have track ready vehicles? How many people actually take them to a track and drive them in anger when they get there? It has to be a tiny fraction of the total number of ///M buyers. I have to think that most ///M purchases are made for other reasons than being ready for hot laps at the drop of a hat.
