Correct me if I'm wrong but did'nt Bmw have the same situation with the 335 and later corrected it by retrofitting oil coolers to early models and adding to sport pkg in later years.

Yes they had a similar issue and most diligent owners have one installed. A lot of BMW owners start moding their cars because turbo boosted cars are so tempting. When track compititions got started many learned the hardway, alot of engines gave out to the heat even though their inturnals are forged.
