Almost certainly yes.

Just like almost all other BMWs.

Don't hold your breath (and no I haven't bothered to open that link.)

Basically, any modded 6 cylinder Z3 (M and non-M) gets put into ASP. They should have some allowance for the non-Ms (BSP?), but they haven't changed the classification in years. It's why I stopped going go SCCA events and sticking with the BMW CCA events.

Is the problem that the Z3 (and BMW's in general) are truely placed in the wrong SCCA classes, or is it just that there will always be over and underdogs and the BMW's happen to get the short end of the stick.

rum, think about it - in the CCA autocrosses, are 2.3 Z3s in the same class as M Roadsters? Nope. They are in the SCCA events.

where do you think they should be classed and why?

I think the non M's should be split out of ASP and be placed in BSP where can can be competitive. In addition to the reasons stated in the following thread,

it should be noted that while the update/backdate provision is a key feature of the street prepared class, there are many "single model" cars in SP since that can't make use of the feature, but they are placed there because that is where they can compete.
