BMWCCA Track Day at Gingerman

Hmmm looks like you got a chance to shove the new convertible M3 around the track. While not a convertible fan I would have to say less intrusion between the monster under the hood and the driver is a bonus.

//M3 convertible…. maybe or maybe not, maybe something a bit more practical or a bit more rare at the same time. Maybe it is a convertible

Only 1 shot of the Carrera GT, so I’m guessing not that one.

The car that you’ll be reading about will of course be the convertible M3. But first you’ll get our M3 sedan review - coming very very soon.

and no convertibles allowed for Windy City BMWCCA Driver’s School unless a roll bar has been installed.

I was at this event and didn’t even notice the M3 convertible!

I have to remember to do this next year (even though it is a rather flat track). This year I was tied up at the Nürburgring - Nordschleife, so I have a good excuse. Insanely fast track. Saw several Carrera GT’s, Ferarris, and more. The oddest looking car was a 4 door Porsche sedan driving around the area (not on the track). On my way home I saw him again, this time going 250+kph (I was probably doing 200kph)

Chaz,
Sounds like you saw the soon the be released Porsche Panorama, a 4 door coupe/sedan. A direct competitor to the MB CLS, and the BMW CS (concept now but will be Gran Tourismo)

Hmmm, lets see:

A) Porsche Carerra GT
B) Porsche GT3
(no that can’t be, this is the Bimmerfile, not Rennlist)
C) review of the M3 Sedan, without its top
