2010 335i w/ automatic: Bad idea to track??

Hey guys,

I have a stock 2010 with M sport package. Unfortunately I bought an automatic since the car is my daily driver and family car compromise. However, I want to attend two or three HPDE's a year. It's been several years since I've been out to the track, but in the past I was an intermediate driver with probably 25 track days under my belt.

I plan to upgrade the brake pads, brake fluid and that's about it. I am considering a separate set of track wheels with sticky tires and maybe refresh the suspension if I get addicted again I have read the overheating issues with the 335 on the track and I'm sure there's additional issues with the automatic on the track as well is my guess. Also the lack of LSD is a pain.

Will the occasional track event use make the car less reliable overall?

Thanks!
