Yes, 5 days testing in Death Valley, the lowest elevation point in the U.S at 282 feet below sea level, where it was 137 degrees F. on California 91 octane.
Some other fun facts:
The new car is about 250 lbs heavier than the previous E46 M3, mostly due to increased saftey standards.
The hood bulge is necessary because NHTSA requires a 2" gap between the hood and the engine in the event of a pedestrian collision.
The front sport seats though heavily bolstered, have like 20 motors in them.
The exhaust has a deep, pretty strong growl from the outside, even when idling. When this car accelerates, you can hear the exhaust wail from two blocks away.
