If you are going to sink some real money into it, I would go NA build. I think also a single turbo build could work decently. Either one, there are two main factors you will have to deal with 1. Weight reduction. 2. Aero and cooling. Neither of which is cheap. In the long run though, running a German car at the track, ee gads, it probably costs more.

I'm running Bridgestone RE-71Rs, which I'm quite happy with and will likely continue with in an M4, until something better ultimately comes around (in the tire world, this means every year practically).

The key to controlling costs in an M car is to keep the consumables affordable. So I'm looking at a configuration with the standard iron brakes, rather than carbon ceramic rotors that cost $10k and need to be replaced every 500 track miles. As soon as an AP Racing BBK is available for the M4, I'll switch out to that -- the performance can't be beat, and the rotors/pads are cheap.

There's still the question of when I'll get the M4. Soon, if I decide to go that way. But I just ordered a new set of Carbotech XP10s and Stoptech rotors, so that will give me a little wiggle room.
