We could only hope. Pics in the link above don't look like it though

I sure hope that they have made the engine more resilient for track day exploits, blowing up my M135i @ bedford wasn't much fun
I'm looking forward to reading some proper reviews, anyone know when the press get to drive the car?

The only modification to the car since new were black kidney grills which BMW fitted on pdi.
Without going into too much detail ... it had to have a new engine and i believe the bill was over 15k. It was all covered under warranty with no questions asked and the service i got from my local BMW service centre was second to none.
I have to say it wasn't a very nice experience and for me disappointing as i bought the car so i could use it as a bit of an all rounder and this really put me off. The car had done 30 laps at the ring over 2 visits and then only this evening track session, the car had plenty of oil and was treated well but i think in the end oil starvation was the issue and it did a bearing. I've since seen another thread on pistonheads where it happened to someone else, i think from memory BMW at first wouldn't pay but in the end covered all costs after he mentioned he would take it legal.

Lucky he/you got repaired cars if the BMW warranty terms specifically excludes track days.
BMW UK said:The purpose for which your BMW was designed and built was as a passenger carrying vehicle under normal driving conditions. This BMW Retailer Warranty does not extend to faults that arise as a result of the vehicle being used for racing, rallying or similar competitive sports.
I'll take the 1M.
Looks far better. And will continue to maintain its crazy value.
given that there are only 400-500 due to land in the UK,
Whatever the number was. It was low / limited. Didn't they make a little over 6000 for the entire planet.
On the track:
That car is special... M3 CSL special
