I suspect that there is an agreed upon, proven mod the N54 that will allow it to be tracked but I'm not able to get the "conclusion" out of this thread.
As beginner your make a lot of mistake and to compensate you are on the accelerator more instead of carrying speed. This will cause your engine to run lot hotter. I have been tracking my n54 335i for a decade and don’t have overheating issues. Oil starvation yes. Last year I started tracking another 335i n54st and isn’t overheating either. So pause building your car. Instead learn how to drive it better , smother and faster.
You are tracking your N54 at 4,300ft altitude? Bcs. there is HUGE difference in cooling environment between low and high altitude. Come to HPR and track N54 with no cooling modifications at 5,000ft and trust me, I will outrun you using my Adidas shoes.
