That is the most thought out logical post on the BMW and the SIR that I've seen.
Let me just raise one point:
The 240z is, I would say, "classed correctly," meaning that its power/weight "fits" the ITAC formula. The 325is is not. Is it not acceptable to fix this issue? I understand the no guarantee of competitiveness, etc. but if it is a flat out error that renders one car an overdog, should that not be "correctable" or are we stuck with these kinds of mistakes because people (and were fully justified in doing so) relied on them?

One last question (again, don't answer if you don't want to): could the 325 be competitive in ITS at 3150? Would the harder on tires/brakes disadvantage it already has be exacerbated to the point that the fast RX7s would be able to beat it regularly?

Maybe I missed it, but until very recently I didn't think "The Formula" was known by anyone other than the Comp Board. Had it been published, and the spec page for the E36 mistakenly printed with the wrong weight, and the correction made immediately, I would agree that it shoud be corrected. But a lot of folks traded/sold/built E36's long after they were inducted.
