Seriously? This discussion went on for 2 pages?
Used to be, turning on the heater on track is the LAST resort on an engine with serious cooling issues. Those that track, before the mighty E9X platform, KNEW that by having to turn on the heater to siphon off heat from WATER it belies a much larger problem and it is but a bandaid on a GSW. And not a GSW from a tiny little .22, but a GSW from a .44 magnum. Turning on the heater on track is what you do to LIMP back to the pit so you can shut down the car without the engine block going full Chernobyl.
For YOU people to sit here and discuss the "finer" merits of turning on the heater while on track? You are ALL missing the point. There are bigger issues with some of these BMW not being track worthy right out of the box. Turning on the heater to track your car?
Bandaid.
