Looking for a surefire automotive investment? How about a Rolex 24 class-winning BMW M8?
As part of the ongoing celebration of the M division’s 50th anniversary, BMW plans to sell off the M8 GTE–chassis No. 1809–that won first in its class at the 2020 Rolex 24, driven by John Edwards, Augusto Farfus, Jesse Krohn and Chaz Mostert.

I think it's interesting that BMW is selling it instead of auctioning it off. Hopefully whoever buys it has fun with it.
Bonus points if they bring it to the $2000 Challenge.
JG, can we run this in XSB?

All we need are a set of these:
and we're good to go
In other relevant discussions, we had a brief chat about where this would actually fit for autocross classing. Technically it's production-based, even though I think these cars use front and rear tube clips mounted to a (strengthened) factory tub, but that should still make it eligible for SCCA Prepared if it makes weight. So, XP? Is there anything I'm missing that would force a former GT3 car to be an EMod car?

I have an extra set in the garage.
That would make a neat track day car - the chances are pretty good that no one else will have one just like it!
Are 200TW tires available in the correct sizes for this car?

You know I could see me putting them in my car just because.

Assuming the performance is fair, what a provision for FIA GT3 cars to automatically fall into XP?
Will you have to buy a subscription to keep the ECU working?

The Riley built C3 Corvette that runs in Champcar has something like 355's on the rear.
