I have an "S" so unfortunately I have all of ths already ......
But fortunately the engine ain't toast, just my track sessions are usually a little short

Here is a summary of all the things I did so far, unfortunately with only little effect

So here's what I did:
* Replaced water pump
* installed LN engineering low-temp thermostat
* cleaned the radiators (also cleaned between the radiators and the AC condensers)
* switched from 15W50 to 10W40
* bled the coolant system twice
* checked that all the electric fans kick in
* checked pressure on the coolant lines to the front radiators
