Very interesting. Definitely don't get the ACC radar if you want to go to the track often!
So nice to see they finally have put some brake cooling ducts in the front! About time! I also like the stone guard in front of the radiator, that is great |

I agree that there are positives to have these videos in one single thread. The advantage of keeping them separate is that you can have one discussion in each thread on each topic. All topics in one thread could end in a long thread that is difficult to keep track of with several tech topics discussed in the same thread. The mods decide what they find to be the best solution. |

After watching the bumper disassembly, I was left wondering why they couldn’t just make a DIY for the removal since they were in there.. lol
Agree, the rock guard is a clever idea. I see they kept the lower cooler design that had a minor tendency to get damaged on occasions. I predict the aftermarket companies will start on a design to cover it but wonder if it will maintain original design intent of negative pressure cooling. |

Things like that little lip to ensure negative pressure under the oil cooler is another good sign that this car was built for intentions beyond being a sneaker marketing tool
M is still alive and well it seems. |

So now the oil cooler is your skid plate. Careful driving these with lowered suspension.

In the Q&A I asked about the seemingly vulnerable oil cooler at the bottom of the car and why it seems less protected than the one from the F8x. From what I saw, there is no guard, whatsoever, protecting the cooler from debris.

Shame they can't hide it in the badge like some of the VAG cars. It is nice to see that they expect people to track it though |

Overheating an M car is not so easy, many people will never get there. Hopefully they built off of the excellent F8X stock cooling system and made it a little better. M cars have always served as dual duty cars and accept hard track use without many modifications. It's one of their stronger points. |

That's what I thought too. Don't the previous gen M2/3/4 have the engine oil cooler unprotected at the bottom in the same place? How is that not a problem?

I think since they removed the front bumper, the oil cooler seems more exposed. Would be interesting to see the complete front end.

sorry looking on my phone, not sure if it was listed above somewhere by someone already, but maybe group these all together in one thread? Jason

I personally prefer separate threads for these videos because they cover very distinct topics. Putting everything in one thread will make it difficult for users who are just interested in one or two technical aspects. |
