A few years ago on a Best Motoring(Japanese) youtube vid I saw a (tuned?) 135i vs some competitors @ Tsukuba and the 135 went in limp mode after a (few) lap(s) as I recall because of overheating.

What has been done to the 1M engine system to prevent it better from overheating? I read a few things but cannot recall them. Intercooler/oilcooler stuff? We know the 1M comes with an oil temp gauge which the 135i doesn't have, but that doesn't prevent an engine from overheating off course.
