I've heard people taking their car to the track. They usually have M5s, 550's and chipped 535's. Never a 525, but as long as you're having fun that what's important.

I just take it to AutoX twice to see the handling characteristic of the car, ended up getting a better time then M3 drivers which i was surprised. It was fun just to see how the car handles.
