Not to argue on a car which is not even developed yet but there is a N54 engined car which is actually developed by M engineers and lots of them being tracked extensively since 1 year. The 1M, which is obviously also a test for following FI M cars. Can you search how many times did 1Ms get in limp mode including heavily tracked ones please. The result you will come up may surprise you and also other people who are rightfully skeptical on this point.

I am not saying it can't get in limp mode or won't get but maybe it already is not that big of a problem. And as you put it your buddy has a 335is not an M car, also a DCT which is arguably the part of limp issue so can't serve as a base for M cars, present or future.
