We do not have a dry sump (I don't think it's legal for stock class), but we do use what we think is a pretty good racing synthetic motor oil in the TOTAL Quartz Racing 10W-50. But we've never had a dry sump on the M3 with the S54 engine either and thankfully, have not blown either one.

We have to use DOT R Compound tires (in our case the Nitto NT-01), so we aren't using slicks. And with the weight of our car, we aren't cornering this car at the speeds some of the cars can corner at.

Some BMWs can have fuel starvation at lower fuel tank levels in long, sweeper turns that send the fuel away from the pickup (the e36 had it).
