M4 not liking the super hot weather

[///Mangler]

Does anyone have the technical docs that explain the cooling strategies and also the anti lag strategies when in sport plus?

Sure. But IMHO one should always have a basic knowledge about a how a fool they are using works.

I assume you mean a tool. I know how a screwdriver works. A car? Depends what you mean by basic. IMHO, I know basically how a car works. How an engine works? No. Not enough to pass a test. A transmission? Nope. I understand your point of view, but I disagree.

Now, you want to race this thing, better learn physics.

It gets pretty hot here in the summer time, frequently 100 and sometimes 110. I have never noticed a performance drop on the M3. The aircon is great BTW!

I quite often go to the drag racing in summer for the afternoon and evening. Hottest part of the day. Parking in hot weather, I leave the windows open a crack, cover the windshield with a sunshade and the windows with towels to keep the sun out of the car.

The motor may have strategies to offset this but at least for my car they aren't fully effective. My car feels distinctly more lively on a cool evening.

It finally got around 80 in Southern California recently...I've definitely noticed my car was a tad grumpy with this.

Sport+ has more active cooling and will likely feel less affected by the heat.

Thats interesting, what actually changes in S+ for it to cool better?

This is somewhat helpful but these "deep dives" are barely ankle deep I searched the page for any mention of cooling and I came up with nothing. Any other info on the specifics would be nice to have.
