Without changes to the cooling you can forget pushing a 335i on the track.
I would add cooling ducts to my 335I, but I don't even have an oil cooler, so I don't know if that'll do any good.

FYI, since your in europe, your probably not getting very hot summers, in which to push your Z4's S54. Although germany did have some heat waves this summer, so I wonder if you "pushed it" at the ring on one of those days.
