100 degree weather for the past 12 days, i miss boost weather

[ZX-10R]

Less heat soak than M cars running 25 psi

2650 doesn't mind the heat

ZX-10R has the hate for M6's. But an A10 and those green rocketships, I can understand

It's been 100 degrees here and my stock M6 doesn't miss a beat at 200 degrees.

What are your charge temps? Of course most manufacturers were forced to switch to water cooled intercoolers, which certainly helps, but would be interesting to see charge temps after repeated full throttle at 25 psi.

As far as which motors are under more stress, that's not up for argument, but most BMW owners dump their cars before the warranty runs out because they know the financial ruin often awaiting them otherwise.

I want to see compression tests at 75-100k on these newer M cars (not babied) running 25+ psi. Intakes covered in blowby are the norm. There is no free lunch. There is a price to pay running sky high boost on small displacement engines.

Sorry, man, but I was referring to my ZL1 M6 running at 200 degrees regardless of the outside temp. I should have been more specific.

Are hot temps bad for boost? Texas is basically 90+ every day during the summer. Will my car run slower? A10 btw.

My M6 runs cool on the track in 90+ temps. No transmission overheating here.

With “computer aided no lift shifting” my car holds its own.

No one cares. You brought BMW to this thread. This has nothing to do with BMW. Have you owned any M cars brand new? Just asking.

Yes you’ll be making less boost with hot air

Down here in S. Florida, the heat and humidity are a bitch for heat soak. I can’t wait for winter when we get a lot of low humidity days in the 60’s. It’s like the car has 50 more hp.
