Reading about the F8X, it seems considerable effort has been invested in heat management and turbo "margin" to avoid power loss on hot days and at altitude. Hopefully it will be paying off. Only time will tell.

What I do dislike about the 1M, is the lag in throttle response. Again here, BMW promised they worked some magic to fix this.
i heard F10s M5 having reported problems. on this forum from members. but ya lets hope for the best.
