Are these cars 'actually' designed to be driven hard? Or do you need to prepare them?
For sure you need to swap out the RFT and likely will need to change the front brake pads.

The contisportcontact5 RFT on my wife's 335 start to chunk after one session at buttonwillow. They were a joke.

I think you should take it out for a session and give it a shot. I personally don't think the F30 is a great choice for a dual purpose car based on my experience with it but then again, I realize my experience was clouded by the stock RFT and the fact I have a non m sport with means 290F+ oil temps and power reduction
