My wife and I are considering ED on an M3 next year, so I'm curious about your Ring experience. In your opinion, do you need to have significant track experience to be safe (assuming you know your limits)? I've had driving school experience (at BMW's Spartanburg center) but no track experience. Seems like it would be pretty hard to adhere to break-in (which I know doesn't matter to some) on the Ring - is this feasible while still driving fast enough to not be a danger?
I would be very nervous to drive my car on the Ring (I don't have track experience). Would LOVE to do it but basically if you break it, your screwed big time.

You would most likely need to break the "break in period rules" , which I am one of those that say screw it. I have never adhered to break in periods and never once had an issue. Now with that said I don't beat the piss out of it, but I do drive it to enjoy it. In fact I think my cars have run stronger because of it.
