if you track your car often i wouldn't dream of getting a any M car on the market today ( new models). i have heard of F10 M guys having heating problems at the track. IMO its simply the nature of the beast to be more prone to heating issues over a N/A engine. i am sure BMW will put some nice tec into the engine to help with this. but there is only so much you can do. time will tell.
According to BMW the F8x is the most track ready standard M3 of all generations. So I'm not sure what you mean BMW has done here that isn't aimed at tracking

Turbo engines generate more heat, hence the extensive cooling system! Turbo cars have been racing in endurance racing for years. How the S55 will cope with heat remains to be seen, but I'm pretty sure BMW has done hot climate tracking on the N'ring (or elsewhere) with these cars...

BTW the 'Ring taxi are M5's
