I always get a kick out of the endless debate over how the N54 gets over heated and the car runs out of breath. I would say that the early 335i's without the oil coolers tended to do this. I have had my 2007 335i out at Sebring and did not have any out of the ordinary temps. I also had my 2009 135i at Sebring & Road Atlanta and never experienced any of those things. In regards to the shorter wheel base. It will take a bit more skill to drive a car like the 1M. If you have ever driven an E30 M3 you would understand what I am talking about. This all being said both the E9X M3 and 1M are both fantastic cars.

BTW, I am assuming you are going to the Chin Motorsports event this weekend at Sebring. I will be attending their events when I get my 1M back from European delivery and I'll be looking forward to passing you.
