That's amazing the stock rad and coolers are getting it done. Did you ever track it w/o the misting system to see the delta?
In order to make mine track worthy was going to do a front brake upgrade with ducting and track pads, aftermarket rad and coolers and GTS DCT tune. But maybe I'll try a misting system first. How much water do you go through in a session?
Thanks again for your help!
Well, hehe, "getting it done" in an M3 is a bit subjective. What I mean is that the E9x M3 platform is prone to overheating. Since I focus on the idea of time attack, I am able to manage my temps because I'm not going maximum for very long periods.

For what it's worth, I've had two friends put in aftermarket coolers on their E90 M3's with little-to-no benefit. I'm going to try the Do88 DCT cooler because it is quite a bit larger than the stock unit.

Anyway, brakes, brake fluid, pads and the GTS DCT tune are a good place to start. You might find that you're abusing the outside edges of your front tires quite a bit, so camber plates could be of help. I would do that before coolers.

Good luck!
