I think about any stock 335i will start running hot in those conditions. But the more power you make, the more heat you generate. I hate to think about what would happen on a hot day! With an oil cooler, maybe it would take 6 minutes instead of 3 minutes..

Again, a N/A M3 would be much more resistant to heat buildup on a race track. But under most conceivable street conditions, the 335i is fine.

On the other hand, when I came to a stop at the end of the road, the temp was down to 230F within 2 minutes.
