This really concerns me. I left another car thinking this would be better and not have any track related issues. It appears that "everyone" who runs their car in "hot" weather at the track is having power failure due to some demon in the car. What is causing this? Three things are so far possible. Oil temps, coolant temps, or charge air temps. Given the shut off values by BMW, all these cars are shutting down before the given specs say to do so. Why can't we pin down the exact problem. Is there another sensor that reads piston block temps? Bank 5 and 6 are prone to more heat than the others. This problem needs to be solved. It will be interesting to see if the same people having these problems in the heat will also have them in the cold weather coming up. We will see.
