08 335i passenger side hood/fender is hot???

Is it normal for the hood/fender on the passenger side (behind the headlight) to feel hot (almost too hot to touch) after normal driving??? The coolant tank is on that side but it seems too hot to me.

Also, what's the normal range for oil temp on a stock 335i??? I'm running 230-240, I'm guessing that's normal?

Did not notice that on my 08 335i, but the turbo's are located in the area of the lower right side of the engine (as you are sitting in the driver's seat) and the oil cooler is in the passenger side front fender well just forward of the tire. Logical that heat would be concentrated in that area.
