I bet its track capabilities would surprise a lot of of people. Its obviously not as light and tossable as a spec E30 or even an E92 M3 but it gets the job done. I just drove this beast on a BMW Performance Center autocross. It was the same car just driven 5500 miles in the One Lap competition.

The first thing I'd do with it is play with it at VIR.
