N26 oil delivery issues?

gpdriver17 · 08-02-2021, 05:34 PM

I'm thinking about doing a track day in my 2016 328i. But a few places I've read that the engines aren't designed for track usage and wont pick up oil when you're turning or breaking hard? Is this actually an issue? Does anyone here do track days with an N20/26? Has it been a reliable engine?

It has been great for me for the last four years but I have seen others have issues. There seem to be more N20/26 track goers in the 2 series forum so worth reading over there. I overfill my oil by 1L as a precaution, however, I am eyeing a baffled oil sump just finalized for sale by another forum member.
