M5 Track Set UP anyone?

Jay-K · 02-24-2014, 08:20 PM

Hello,
So since last week my 1M was sold, right now i have a dream of having a "track-car", thinking about selling the M5 and get E92 M3 used, with a normal sedan / suv in replacement of the M5.

does anyone have a track build here?
does the car feels to big for the track?

i am really aiming to realise my goal of having a track car.
thank you,

Amen! In all seriousness, invest in an older water cooled Porsche and spend some cash to make it a track car. Best investment ever.

Get a Miata or Lotus Elise/Exige. And keep the m5

however here, the old porsches will be very-very expensive and relatively not cheap, this is not isa sir

the moment i let go of the 1M, i don't know it just doesn't feel right, all solution was best when it is an M car or a BMW,
i doubt miata / lotus can replace that

Should have kept the 1M

Buy an already fully prepped track car. Much much cheaper than doing it yourself. If you're serious, go full cage, fire suppression, and get a trailer.

GT3 is best choice IMO

Some great E36 M3 options out there for low money too

mastek · 02-25-2014, 02:27 AM

You can buy a dedicated race track, well setup e46 m3 for under $50k USD
Same with an e36m3
And its much easier to drive @ 9/10ths then a snap oversteer GT3 for same money and same lap times. A used 997 Cup car will run you $80k and will cost $22k if u blow the tranny vs. a $1500 used e46m3 tranny. Etc, etc... ///M FTW

A well setup E46 M3 will cost around 100k here, since its so rare…
well there are some, but people are not willing to sell them..

strong import regulations.. we cannot import "used" cars ..
lol i'd go crazy buying all of the car from US if it is able..!

dkreidel · 03-22-2014, 09:18 PM

A Noble GTO-3R for the track although it's technically street legal- great car!

M5essex · 03-22-2014, 10:08 PM

Ariel atom is what you need for serious track day fun. The v8 model if you get it. Awesome bit of kit...

M5essex · 03-22-2014, 10:09 PM

Or caterham? Do you get these over the pond?

yes we can as long as its on production and available "new" from the UK,
however.. loll I'm not even going to bother getting a quote. our prices of import tax will rise 125% by next month. we are doomed.

AlphaAlpineM6 · 03-23-2014, 05:29 AM

I am moderately tracking my M6. I also daily the car which is nice.
My track setup recommendations;
1. AMS catless downpipes -
2. KW Clubsports
3. Carbon Brakes
4. R888
5. Dinan kinematics
