Extraordinary number of white, low mileage E92 M3 on AUC site. Is it a coincidence or has a special fleet been released?

These have been confirmed by Sytner as ex Palmer Sport Experience day cars. All are on new tyres and discs. I agree that it's pretty off by BMW to be releasing these to the dealer network to the unwitting buyer. None of the dealers, understandably, will admit the car's origins unless you push them for the truth. I wouldn't mind, but they're not very cheap for what they are, bearing in mind that one track mile is said to be equivalent to 10 road miles - making these 5-10k mile cars have the real world equivalent of 50-100k miles of wear on the engine and chassis...

Even after a refurb I wouldn't be happy to buy a car that had been hammered around a circuit hundreds of times by would-be Hamiltons.

Would appear to be no longer listed so presumably withdrawn from sale.
A BMW bigwig must have realised that this is not the time for for car companies to continue with unethical behaviour.

You would think with all the bad publicity surrounding VW that BMW would take some care to avoid being caught up in a mini scandal of their own.
Has this issue hit any newspapers or magazines?

Totally agree.

These cars can do so many miles if serviced on schedule or in my case every few thousand miles that a car with less than 10k miles with most of that done with paying customers then there should be no issue.My car has done about 700 laps of the ring now and never missed a beat and mates have done over 50k of track miles with no issues but correct servicing.
Fine. But most people wouldn't want to buy such a car if they knew its history – that's the point.
