Agreed, the oil temps are a huge issue. I see 260F-270F often when I keep the RPM between 4k and 7k and use a lot of throttle, and this is on the conservative OEM tune. Power reduction starts at 270F for the stock tune and Jb4 reverts to stock there (as I'm sure you know)

One other thing to check on is the DCT temp. I don't have a way to measure these but I noticed sometimes the shifting is extremely sluggish. In another thread Ashjorn posted that our DCT doesn't have the same cooling equipment as the M3 DCT so perhaps you would benefit from trying to install that part.

(this is about the time I decide just to keep stock and enjoy as a hairdresser car )
