I’m starting this thread in hopes of chronicling the turbo 335i in extreme conditions. The extreme heat (100-115 degree) testing provided by states such as Nevada and Arizona is quickly going away as we move into fall. This is the only time we will be able to experience these conditions until next year so it will be nice to have a log of peoples reactions test driving the 335i now and then a follow up in a couple months when temperatures are normal (60 & 70 degrees for comparison by the same tester).

Has anyone taken a 335i test drive in Arizona, Nevada or other extreme temperature state? I was wondering how the turbo reacts under these conditions. Is there less power than expected? More lag?

I live in Arizona and plan on buying a 335 in the near future. I will be test driving soon. It will be nice to know how this car will react when next summer rolls around. I’d hate to find out 8 months after I buy the car that is acts like a dog in the 4 month long summer heat.
