I am sure it will be fine.

BMW made factory built mini challenge racecars that were designed to race on slicks with factory fitted KW V3 race suspension. These ran a standard unmodified R56 mini engine with a standard wet sump etc. I am sure they pulled big g forces.

There are hundreds or thousands of people around the world who have run standard e36/e46/e92 M3's on the track with slicks and unmodified engines, and I don't see a whole lot of problems.

I am sure the f80/f82 engine is at least as capable.

Now that is not to say it is ideal, and doesn't need improvement. People will eventually do things to improve oil surge etc. However it gives me confidence that BMW built a dedicated racecar (mini challenge) without modifying the sump etc. They must have a certain level of over engineering.
