I know it would at the very least need an oil change for sure. What sort of life do you guys get out of these parts?
Thanks in advance,

Jason - you better check your local BMWCCA rules. Ours does not allow convertibles of any type witout a roll cage, and I believe that is a national BMWCCA policy due to their insurance carrier.
BTW, I ran Brainerd in an Infiniti G35 rental car a couple of years ago, and completely toasted the brakes after only two sessions. A garage in White Bear Lake fixed me up before I had to turn it back in.That track can be hard on brakes.
