Somebody's an idiot, it absolutely does. My car had serious heat soak in only 65 degree ambient temps.

Like I said, go dump some regular unleaded in the tank and install some hot air intakes (instead of the well-designed stock intake) and report back after taking the car out for a rip on a hot day. It may not go into "limp mode" per se, but the ECU will be trimming back power significantly enough to make the car feel "slow" and "heat soaked" so as not to grenade the motor. Even sitting in traffic on a hot day will heak soak the engine enough to notice. it's clear some of you guys have never daily driven a high performance turbocharged engine, otherwise this thread would be the world's most obvious obviousness.

This post is an Epic Fail.
All this pissing back and forth based on one persons opinion of the 1M on a race track? We have no idea what skill level this person has regardless of how many times he may go to the track. What we do know is that BMW has increased the cooling flow for the 1M to make it track worthy making a comparison between the 1M and 335i or 135i a mute point. Since early 335i's without Oil Coolers did have overheating issues. Most important is no one else has reported this issue on the 1M. There is no reason to place any credibility on this post what's so ever. Compare what you have read here vs all the test reviews from legitimate sources, what do you come up with? Over and done.

As far as I know the magazines didn't do any hot weather testing like we have. Why not ask the OP what his experience is? This thread shows the many reasons why arguments go in circles in forums. If we were all face to face this conversation would be very different.

magazines only have access to the cars for a very limited period of time also...the ambient conditions at the time can shape opinions or at least what gets reported. Owners eventually get to experience all ambient conditions with the same exact car, and can become more familiar with subtle changes in performance due to them.
In short; magazine articles never tell the whole story. They simply aren't able to. |

Agreed to a point, however it's still early in the reviews of the 1M, quite sure we will see track compos in the future. This this heat soak issue was a real big issue BMW and early testers would have found it early on in development.

You are the only other person to post about a hot day at the track, right. You don't mention any of the OP issues in your own "Track Day High Heat Data Video" post.

Very easy to answer your question but it's also 1 page back.
"I never backed off for a cool down lap. I pushed it hard lap after lap and the temp stayed at 270-280 without any loss of power. When the checkered was waved I took my cool down/in lap. That's when temps would drop down quickly."

^^^Isn't this just like comparing two tuned 135i's with same/similar mods...one gets limp mode and one didn't? Which I mentioned happened a page or so back BTW...and on the same track as Dan Parker was at to boot....

The OP was on a different track with very few straights. Lack of high speed = less airflow over coolers = higher temps. That's what it sounds like to me, that's all.
I've been wrong, once before.

Actually, I don't have a 1M but I suppose you can give us insight with your grand expertise behind the wheel of yours? Oh wait, you havent got one yet either. Who am I? I am like Switzerland here. I am just keeping an open and neutral mind about this car. I dont put it on a pedestal like you do. Nor do I go by magazine articles and not personal experience. Your expert magazine article readings trumps the OP and Dan Parker here.. We get it. Also, don't worry but YOUR 1M will be perfect Redadair. It will not suffer from exhaust droning, Heat soak or anything else. BMW is taking extra precautions to make sure your car has no faults whatsoever.... So who are you to tell the OP that his opinions\experience behind the wheel of the 1M has no credibility and means zero? How much time have you spent on a track? How much time have you spent behind the 1M? Oh yeah, ZERO. All your facts are based on magazine articles and a few youtube video's... |

But since you have read this post I am sure you have read my entries about Miller Sportspart track, right. I have never had the HPFP issue, or limp mode on my car. I have ran at Miller in over 100 degree temps without any limp mode or significant loss of power in either car. But as you say my cars are perfect. And your extensive experience is?

And wow. Just wow. You guys are worse than the absolute immaturity I see on VW forums. One guy posted his honest opinion on the car. Can someone have an opinion that doesn't overlap directly with yours? Apparently not. He liked it for the most part but had some gripes. So.. someone has a genuine complaint in his eyes about a car you like.. That doesn't mean you respond with "OMG YOU ARE LYING THIS CAR IS THE BEST EVAR IT WILL NEVER BE BEAT EVER IT IS BETTER THAN BIG FAT M3S AND PORCHES AND EVERYTHING; M3 GUYS JUST HATE ON US" ...well they hate on you because you make yourselves such easy targets. There's a word for that.. oh yeah.. Here's somewhat of a kicker. The 1M is 90% 2010 N54 135i. There ya go. It's a 135i with the PPK (software and an extra oil cooler, 135i already has one cooler), LSD, suspension, and wider fenders for the wheels. Look up the part numbers on realoem. Same intake manifold, piston rings, "lightweight" crankshaft, intake, intercooler + piping, exhaust (other than the axleback, part numbers only changed due to cat changes for emissions), engine, chassis, etc etc. It's a bit of parts bin car, prone to the VERY SAME heat soak issues that the _35i and _35is cars are prone to (yes the "is" cars experience heat soak as well, even with their extra oil and water cooler). Though I still love it and I wish they would continue production an extra year or so just so I could buy one, the fact that some of you half turned it into your personal golden calf is ridiculous. I am a proud 1er owner, and an admitted wannabe 1M owner. Grow up, and learn to take one critical point about an otherwise great car. I won't be coming back to this thread again, children.
