Running the M2 at track turned out to be too much of psychological stress than pleasure due to the cost of the car and being all shiny and pretty
.
So I'm strongly considering in getting a car just to trash at the track. I'll start with it almost stock, maybe just upgraded pads from day one, and build from there.
After factoring all the factors that I could think of I decided to go with an 135i. In my budget falls the E82 and also with a bit of a stretch an F20. The biggest difference being the gearbox: DCT vs ZF8 auto.
My question is: should I stick to the DCT or pay a bit extra to get the newer car but have the ZF8 auto? How bad is to run this auto box at the track vs a dual clutch? Or can you see the age of the DCT in E82?
