Just asked a similar question earlier about doing donut in the m235i. If its any consolation, I went out and had some fun doing donuts in my friends parking lot. I didn't have any oil starvation issues. I really believe that the problems you hear about on the forums are going to be amplified. It's a confirmation bias thing.

Any car will have oil starvation issues if you sustain high g's for a long period of time unless you have a dry sump oil system. You're fighting against the laws of physics. Its not a shortcoming of the cars engineering.

If you're going through a 8 second sweeper corner at 80 miles an hour and you're driving on race tires, you will most likely have problems. You'll also have problems if your low oil light comes on and you decide to go romp on it. Other than that I wouldn't be too concerned.
