I am considering buying an M3, how does BMW handle warranty claims related to track use? Also, I see that the Ultimate Care + program includes expendables like brakes and clutch. Will those be covered for track use as well?
Cheers.
Looking forward to an answer on this one...one would think they should be ok with it (specially on M cars)

They're not (even on M cars).
It's not so much that they care whether you're on a public road or a closed track. They care whether you're using the car in a way that's consistent with how one would reasonably expect someone to operate a personal car in typical use.
It also matters what the warranty claim is. If your windshield washer pump fails, it's not material whether that happened on a freeway or at a track. If you miss a shift and your transmission goes kerfloop they're probably not going to care, either, since that's operator error. If a suspension component fails under extremely hard cornering after a weekend at the track, they might point out that this isn't covered (and can tell from the recorded data how it was being driven)
