As for safety, just get life insurance. If your going to go there is nothing you could do.
If you are worried about getting hurt then don't do said activity. Then again you'll have better odds on a track than on the street.

Not sure where you are coming from. I am not concerned about either of us dying on the track. Your last sentence is consistent with what I had said about safety on track with instructor versus driving on the street where we are surrounded by idiots. I think we are in agreement on those points, but I don't think you recognize that.
A car with less power is a better learning tool for a novice, which is the main reason I don't want him learning with a 3300lb car making 450tq/380hp to the wheels. My e30 has numerous small issues that make it unreliable for HPDE, so I am looking for a better, newer, more reliable car, not a more powerful car for him. You seem to think I need a slightly less old BMW or a motor swapped BMW, which excludes you as a useful source of information. I don't need to be convinced to buy life insurance, or to stop going to the track.
I am about ready to buy one of these for a specific purpose, which is why I posted this question in this subforum.
