I’m terms of luxury, keep in mind they compared the top of the line RCF vs the bottom of the line M3. You can get an M3/M4 Comp with better seats/leather, lots of carbon fiber, and even more power and performance than the RCF track edition all for about the same price. My guess is they did the best they could to line up an RCF track Edit ok with an M3, and this was the best they could get instead of getting a top of the line, fully loaded M3/M4 which would be a better comparison.
drone shots were awesome! great video as always, that looked like a really fun day at the track,

The real problem with the Track Edition is the price. It works great as a daily/track car, but for that much money you could easily by an older RCF and upgrade everything.

Late to the party on this review but I like the details you provided. I have an older E60 535 and absolutely love the N54 inline 6 from BMW - so smooth and torquey. I am currently shopping IS 500s and RC F's because I want the reliability and the refined daily driving experience. Inline 6 and V8's are definitely my two favorite engines.
That carbon fiber spoiler, idk man it just does it for me :D!
Id take the RCF
M3/M4 vs Mach 1 would be cool too, both in manual. Btw the drone shots were dope
I think it's the way the light hits the fender arches on the RCF that makes the wheels look small, particularly in the rear. I feel like it'd look dope as fuck with a staggered set and a bit lowered in the rear, 911 style
