if practicality is an issue, then definitely go with the 335. be forwarned about issues with the 335 though. my friend's 335 has had to get the fuel pump replaced, along with the fuel injectors. it was covered under warranty, but that's a pain. once the unlimited warranty dries up, the maintenance will be $$, but since you already have a few beemers, you know that  |
I'm in oklahoma, oil temps aren't an issue. I bought my Z last June and read about it being an issue on this forum - I went out and broke quite a few laws trying to get mine to get over 260F and get into limp mode. Couldn't get it there after 30 minutes.
Personally if someone is driving as hard as I was then (or harder), and gets it on limp mode without it being on a track, needs to do a few upgrades to their car (tires, suspension, brakes) and better yet, take a defensive driving course...a FEW times...before someone gets hurt.
