How do you guys get insurance for your cars and driver(s)?

Would these cars pass state inspections and be able to register as a street car?

Also, for anyone that runs in BMW CCA club racing, namely in IP, what are the competitive mods being used?

engine - namely cams, software, etc.?

brakes - rules state I can run a 4-piston setup. So, I may see if Stoptechs will sell me the correct carrier to put my Stoptechs on the M3.

suspension(s)? rules state the front can have coilovers, but the rear cannot. seems strange, no? it can have adjustable perches and springs as long as they mount in the same locations, but cannot be coilovers. (?) isn't that what coilovers are? unless inverted, I guess is what they're talking about.

tires -- are 235/40/17 RA1s going to be enough?

I'm looking at this car namely because it has the rebuilt engine with a warranty and I can add the mods that I want instead of buying what someone else did that might not be the best choices...unless I can find the car that has the competitive mods, which they are out there, but I just haven't done enough research yet to know what should be in the car as far as M3s go in IP.

This M3 meets all IP class specs, but I plan to run whatever track car I buy in DEs for at least a year or two before trying a race. I think it just makes financial sense to buy a car that is already ready for racing and the E36 M3 is a great platform with lots of parts out there and cars are relatively priced.

It's currently having a new engine being built (needs cams added, if I buy it) that would come with a 1yr/12mi warranty (big plus, imo). It could use a better suspension, but that can wait until later. The cage was also built to keep the dash, which includes a/c and radio. Again, something that can be taken out and moved back into the dash, should I get to that level. But, the current owner has raced it as it sits.

sorry for the sizes, but that's what is available online. you'll have to cut&paste the full size pics to a new window.
