well, i too had the same dilemma...... get 335 with low mileage and upgrade the turbo with dinan chip and oil cooler for about $5000 - you ll have 480 bhp..... plus back seats for practicality.....
i would say if you have kids, then go with 335..... i was trying to fit my shopping items in the trunk and i SUDDENLY realized that this is Z.... so no more shopping trips with my Z..
if this is your second car, or if you dont have kids, then go with Z - most definitely.....
for one thing, it would be cost effective in the long run for the maintenance cost... i am sure you know better
for 335, although it has CPO coverage of 6 yrs 100k, what are you going to do afterwards, unless you plan to replace it with another one....
I know - it is very tough decision.
before buying my 2010Z, i was actually shopping for a 335 coupe with very low mileage at a reasonable price..... but none of them matched my profile .........
as for the oil temp issue, it seems clear that it is not even an issue for a daily driver.....well, i do not have any problem yet.....
if you still have a hard time, then do a test drive for a Z with 6MT- i am it will change your perspective.... *^^*
