Agreed, its not ideal stock but haven't seen many (any?) 35i or m3 failures from oil starvation at the track with street tires though
I wonder if adding baffles to a street tire car is sort of solving for a problem that isn't quite there.... i.e. tracking the car with stock oil pan, if the used oil analysis is fine, is there really an issue?
I get that is cost isn't an issue, then why not, but for a more "budget" enthusiast, should baffles be at the top of the spend list?
