Ahhh... just wanted to make sure we're comparing Apples to Apples! I think I misunderstood your "I want to be able to print and cut at the same time" to be "on the same machine".
HP's specs for the machine specifically say X-Axis cutter.

download the data sheet, it's on page 3... only a cross cutter. This is basically the only difference from my 310.
They sell "print and cut" packages but that's them...
Oh... I missed this earlier. The 315's cutter is ONLY a cross-cutter (X-Axis). So if you were looking to make contour cuts, this is not going to do that.
Not sure why you think you can't print narrower than 40" on the 315, I've printed plenty of 30" & 36" (99% sure I've also done 24") rolls on my 310 which should be basically the same as the 315 (actually just googled, 315 should go all the way down to 10" rolls but 23" is "fully supported". If...
8624 is the correct 3M product... I don't think 180's going to work, it's not going to be conformable enough. I'm not even sure how well the 8624 would work, I've only ever used it on painted brick so with that much debris I don't know.
And yes, like other people said, you need to heat the crap...
Avery has a pretty good library to start from for their products.

Ultraflex does as well, but I'm not seeing the window perf in the list.

magnets are not going to work well at all going around contours & body molding... the liability on losing a magnet is probably even less important than the liability of that thing hitting someone else when it comes off (which it will).
There are a few rolls of aqueous PSA out there. I know HP makes one. They'll fade quicker than solvent/latex and they'll definitely need laminate to hold up for longer than 6 months. When I had a predecessor to the ipf as my only machine, I was outsourcing the majority of this kind of work though.
on my 310 Latex, there's a setting on the profiles called "Long Run Consistency Mode". It's a check box on the first page. This helped me quite a bit because the initial 3-4 feet of longer prints were different from the rest. Not sure the 365 has the same setting but I imagine it does.
