Ran out of road basically for the box, the Z3 was cooling down fast so I had to stop, didnt want it to cool the oil too much. Ummm, I think I went 90 in my 02 jeep liberty renegade... don't do that.

Huh? The Z3 was cooling down fast so you had to stop? That seems very odd to me. Driving a car that fast puts a LOT of stress on the engine, creating a lot of heat. Regardless of ambient air speed, I can't imagine a car coolling off the faster you drive it. Hell, it seems to me it would get hotter at an accellerating rate, much like air resistance would increase at an accellerating rate.
