And an E9X would be doing the same thing? I parked my E90 next to an F80 at Road America. The difference in the amount of heat radiating from the engine bay was significant. My E90 would have damn near burnt your face off. The F80 was not nearly as hot. And that was after a session of the F80 chasing my E90.
