I don't believe this is entirely true. The weight from and E36 (~3200lb) to a E92 (~3600) increased by about 13% while the disc swept area increased by around 30%. This discs also have greater thickness and mass. So, IMO, the systems ability to dissipate heat has increased more than the weight of the cars.
However, is it enough to overcome the increased kinetic energy due to the higher power? Well that is another question...
