wow, so you were able to get brake temperature model to 'think' the brakes were hot, when they really were not! I wonder too if this brake limp mode is also safe guard against a 'stuck' throttle, like what happened with toyota.
Well, this whole thread has really given me pause doing any track friendly mods. It's a real bummer, because I've been excited about eventually doing HPDE's and more after I get tired of just doing autocross. I guess i can hope as more used 128i's see the track, someone out there will find a solution.
