This is with a mild AccessPort Drive tune on an N54, so any hotter tune would further accentuate the problem. Oil temps are fine. The engine is still coolant challenged on this track (which admittedly is a tough one on cooling).

Wow that is toasty!
Its weird but I have the opposite problem as you. Hot oil temps but reasonable coolant temps. As bNks334 said, I would be curious to see modifying the water pump duty cycle in the tune would have any effect? In theory it shouldn't make any real difference because the DME should have been commanding 100% long back in your situation, but still it would be nice to test it out and see. It can't hurt.
Out of curiosity...
Have you ever replaced the water pump before? They are known to die in weird ways.
Also what concentration of water/coolant do you use?
Any big intercooler aftermarket intercooler blocking flow?
