This will be a superb every-other-day driver for me and give me the opportunity to have an occasional track car that is 99% of an M3 when I want for $20k less.

Seems like a pretty good deal.

0-60 4.2 seconds. Holy crap! That's quite a bit faster than advertised by BMW.

They did say they the 4.2sec time is achievable when the computer allows. Traction issues I suspect. Most likely a wider set of sneakers will fix the problem and 4.2 will be the norm.
