Why should the engine be "maxed for cooling"?
And obviously BMW M have put a within limits "tune" on it, they allways do (just like any manufacturer).
If BMW M have put a engine that is within 90-100% of it's limits from the factory, that would be odd. To be on the safe side with regards to component reliability etc, a manufacturer allways have quite a substantial amount of margin. If this engine doesn't, it would be a industry first and the first car engine that doesn't leave room for higher outputs/stresses.
Or maybe I misunderstood you?
