I wonder if BMW GB are aware of BMW Fahrertraining's activities?

Why do they have race track classes if you're not supposed to use your car on the track?

Cheers,

Also why are the M3 and M5 on tracks in brocures

Furthermore, why the SMG then has a track mode (S6) as well as launch Control? I'm sure responsible BMW doesn't want it's customers to do illegal street racing.

Finally, did the ///M Badge stood for Motorsport or not?

I sincerely hope that these incidents are results of uneducated dealers not knowing what thet are talking about and not the BMW policy.

I don't understand why the misconception exists where people constantly equate abuse of the car with taking it to the track. In most cases, I don't think anything could be farther from the truth. It represents the manner in which the car was meant to be driven, or at least that is how it was advertised. Tragic, I think. Cheers.
