I had a chance to drive the M2 and M4 at the BMW center in Thermal, CA. It was 116F for a high that day. We were absolutely thrashing the cars with the A/C on. The only thing that overheated was the tires. If the car is struggling with the heat it will shut down the A/C first. If it still can't handle it it will put itself into limp mode and force you to cool down. None of the S55 powered cars had any problems though I did manage to get an M5 (S63) into limp mode. The cars were all stock with the exception of brakes and tires. Those cars see that abuse almost everyday, and those temps pretty often.
