Actually it was that very thought that made me wonder wtf is going on over there. I follow racing and really admire Auberlain, Said, and Stuck. However, one must factor in the large influx of cash and 1-2 season cars when talking about that level of motorsports. The goals of those people are different than the goals of some guy that wants to go racing.
I've had BMWs for 20+ years and I found this info as bad news. Especially since I want to build a club racer and was considering an E36 M3. I would do a 911 but I barely fit the way it is. Add a helmet and no way. Maybe an E30.
Re: Roundel and Mike Miller. I don't believe Roundel is exempt from the a$$ kissery that is prevalent in automotive journalism. However, Mike Miller has proven himself a knowledgeable and objective BMW authority and enthusiast who writes tech-talk each month. Of all the people who write for the Roundel, it's his opinion I would trust most. I'm sure he's catching hell for his advice right about now.
