So, on the fuel starvation issue. I experienced the same thing today on my car at Road Atlanta during the BMW Oktoberfest lapping days, turns 1 and 7 (right handers). Oil temp was approaching 260 and I thought and was focusing on that. Took a couple cool down laps, then went at it again going into the back half of the track, but for me, coming out of turn 7, the car totally died.
It wouldn't restart and fuel gauge showed empty. Wound up getting towed in, then filled it up and it only took under 14 gallons to fill it completely.
Now that I know what it was, I think that if I had ever completely shut the car off and then restarted it would have worked, but I never did that since I thought it was out of gas (even though it was half full when I started, after 3 previous sessions), and the car thought it was out, so it shut down the gauge and fuel pump?
Regardless, its very embarrassing to get towed off the track, especially at a national BMW event for running out of gas. Other than that, the car is feeling pretty good.
