an m car should have an engine that can hold up to repeated track abuse. the n55 has major cooling issues and it does not hold up to hard driving. I have experienced this many times.
I don't know what bmw is doing to upgrade the n55 for the m2, but based on past experience, i definitely wouldnt want one in a track car.

Ever think that the over heating was due to poor radiator/oil coolers and ducting of air due to it being designed on a lower class daily driver model. Im sure M put this car through hell and back and saw what was needed to keep it going on the track. If its overheating they probably gave it a bigger radiator with stronger water pump, an over sized oil cooler with possibly an auxiliary cooler that kicks on at a certain temp range to run in parallel with the main cooler, and design the ducting of air into these coolers and the engine to get the most clean high pressure air.
