I would not let a 17 year old that had just passed his test out on track in an M135i!!
Yeah, what would be the point? Might as well get something cheaper to track that you wouldn't have to be precious with.

Fine as a quick road car at 8/10ths but I expect on track you’d see on want stiffer suspension and an lsd as a minimum

Just pop a Saturn V in the back of the MR2, it'll fly then.

If you’ve going to let a totally inexperienced teenager loose on track you need to give them something cheap and safe. I’m thinking genuine sixties Le Mans car here. Get him an original GT40.

This is patent nonsense. Letting a teenager loose on a track in something that provides easy egress should something go wrong is more advisable.

Porsche 550 Spyder.

It was in jest, I'm looking at MK3 MX5s now, they seem a better buy.
