BMW did their homework on the s55 cooling systems...I’d say.
I’m not aware of cooling issues in the 1LEs either...and they are fast. GM appears to have done their homework on them as well. On the other hand, several of the Mustang guys I’ve visited with track-side seem to experience cooling issues..unless they’re in a Gt350R..which must have some extra cooling capacity. The blue oval guys also Seem to complain about difficulty with warranty claims, while the GM guys say GM Coverage has been great with the 1LEs, including replacing blown engines in track cars.

Lots of version of the GT out there. I know 11-12 cars struggled. The 13-14 TP cars with Boss radiators and oil coolers did better. But were not immune, like mine.
But thank you for the info. Good to hear the M2C seems solid so far.

Extremely impressed with the S55 cooling systems so far (knocks on wood)
EDIT - This is on the stock tune. If I were to add considerably more power (such as a Stage 1 tune) I would probably make some upgrades such as a new front heat exchanger and a new top mount intercooler

Thank you for sharing. I appreciate it. The community knowledge is what's awesome about these forums.

I hope! But it will be hard to source a car in time, unless I buy used. I still hope to make a showing. I'm planning a day on the 'Ring and a day at Spa in '21. Would be nice to finish with Grattan and Mid Ohio back stateside. That would be one epic season! If not '22 for sure!
