    Heaviest E46 330 race or track only car?

    I have a bit of an odd question... What is the heaviest that you would/could track or sprint race an E46 330 before wheel bearings, hubs and other such things became a concern? Assume Hoosier or similar tires, no wider than a "245" Hoosier.

    3300? 3500?

    Thank you!

    I raced (7 track weekends with time trials) at 3340 in my E36 on R1-Ss. No noticeable wear issues/concerns. FWIW. I don't think the safety factor on the parts is so razor thin that a few hundred pounds makes much of a difference.
