If owners start having overheating problems during track sessions. The internet forums will blow up. I really hope they have it figured out, or be prepared for a sh*t storm.

Even their most recent M example the f10 M5 has been going into limp mode in reviews.
The limp mode in the M5 was bc of a specific chain of events, and has been rectified. I have experienced the new M5 in many hot laps on a plus 30 grad day, no issues. The same thing was said when the X5/X6 M came to market- drove that in Atlanta on a near 100 degree day with many laps and no issues.

The original non-ZSP equipped 335i is the only car that I have ever had issues with heat.

The new M3 is being tested to make sure these things are not a concern.... I am confident in the engineers.
