I've seen hot laps in M3s, M5s, and even once in a X6M. The X6M was at an autocross for the Sandlapper chapter of the BMWCCA at the PC. Instructors were there to protect the place and probably us too. They are good guys so they got some cars out and did hot laps. With 4 people in the car, they would have been in the top 5 times if I remember right. The X6M was only a few seconds slower than the M3.
We did wet skidpad exercises in M5s and track work in M3s and M6s. The M3s were noticably quicker around the track but M6s are really nice cars. You line up in the same order each time you go to an exercise so you go back into the same M3, M5, or M6. I like driving the M3 the best but I'm glad I also got to drive the M5 and M6. The only time I beat everybody in my group it was in the last skid pad exercise in a M5.
Now if they had a 1M..... I think it could be the most fun. But they only have automatics these days so probably no 1M.
