N54 water temps...seem really high....

JayD · 06-24-2011, 09:33 PM

Just installed BMW Performance steering wheel with display. I see water temps while cruising around 207ish, after heat soak I see 235 slowly dropping back to 210. I know this motor runs hot but these temps seem really high. Oil temps are around 235ish. Ambient temps in the mid to upper 70's.

any thoughts??

210 is normal operation temp for most engines

I ran my car on the track in 100F heat and never had a single heat warning. Oil temps stayed at 270F for 20 minute sessions. Given the conditions I would say that's pretty good.
