So.... is the X3M going to be allowed on track for HPDEs? I'm pretty sure they allow the Macan at PCA events (though I've never actually seen it happen).
Mr. CrashFL,

Yes, the BMW NCC (National Capital Chapter) in the last year or so has allowed the following. The X5M and X6M are currently not allowed. I believe a number of other BMW CCA chapters are now allowing certain SAV/SUVs as well.

"-Compact SUVs, including BMW X1, X2, X3, X3M, X4 and X4M. Porsche Macan, Mercedes GLA & GLC, and Audi Q3 & Q5 are permitted in the Novice (D) and Lower Intermediate (C) run groups only"

On a side note, I was able to go for a ride in the X3M Comp last year on the Patriot course at VIR, by a Michelin driver. It was unreal, what an amazing machine!
