BRZ is certainly a good chassis, but fuck trusting a boosted one on track.
Agree avoid a boosted BRZ... A well track prepped BRZ is just as fast or faster than a 135i with mild upgrades e.g. suspension, pads and 200tw tires and stock power.

I've had no issues with a DCT overheating, and an Oil cooler or two resolves the high oil temp issues on the 135i.

If you are trying to race, prob long term BRZ is better platform.
I am dying to drive one to see the comparison between the two, either way I think you can have fun in either.
