I am looking at a new 370 for $30,000, and a 2007 BMW 335 coupe with 30,000 miles for $28,000. As a former 300ZX owner, I really miss my Z, and was going to buy it vs the 335. I have read all the posts on the oil temp issue. I won't race the car. It will be my daily driver, and use it for weekend drives.

I was going to get the Z, but now I'm not sure. While there are a lot of posts on the problem, there are a lot of people driving Zs that don't seem to have an issue. I like the BMW as well. I have 2 now, and would replace one with the 335, but even though it is CPO, BMWs are expensive to maintain.

My question. Given I don't plan to really push the car, is the oil temp problem, really an issue for me? I live in Ohio, so except for a few hot days in the summer, we don't see really hot temps.
