I've tracked my 330i (still a N52) over 15 times and only experienced a high temp warning once in my life late in a 30 minute session where I was really going hard. Now my temps aren't as bad as yours due to being in CAD but if you're just looking to have fun on a few HPDE to get your feet wet I wouldn't worry too much. If you're taking competition more serious its not a bad idea and one that I have on my to do list in the future due to how plug and play a factory oil cooler option is.
