Make sure alignment/tie-rods/ball joints are solid, also make sure that your wheels are properly torqued. You may want to bring your torque wrench with you so you can check that again between sessions, but only once your wheels have cooled down.
Fresh fluids are good, and eventually you may want better brake fluid etc, but for a beginner the M235i should be more than enough.
For tire pressure, I would start with about 36lbs and reduce from there if needed.

OP, inflate tire pressure to recommended psi (32F/38R) and adjust as you drive. Err on the side of lower since pressure will increase as you drive.
For any track event, you should've had your own mechanic do a tech inspection already. Then you must pass tech the morning of.
I can't stress enough...BRAKES, brake fluid, brakes!
Make sure you're running fresh, high boiling point brake fluid and track pads.
Street pads start melting after a few hard laps. And if they aren't, you're not braking hard enough.
