Is this normal oil temperature for stop-go traffic?

onebadmofo · 10-12-2010, 07:57 AM

Stop-go traffic for about an hour, pic taken right after I parked it. Is this normal temperature? Seems a bit high. Yes I have oil cooler.

Elie335 · 10-12-2010, 07:59 AM

a bit high yes.

TheRox · 10-12-2010, 08:01 AM

Nope thats 115 degrees celcius?

I often hit above 120 if driving spirited

its fine

BayMoWe335 · 10-12-2010, 08:06 AM

Fine...that is the old gage that looks high because it's not in the middle. Looks about 240 which is normal.

H4n · 10-12-2010, 08:35 AM

ya i get about 240 on mine, looks normal

DJKhan85 · 10-12-2010, 08:36 AM

Normal. I tend to go over 250 mainly due to a lot of low gear high revv situations. Now I don't have to be in 2nd gear all the time, but its way more fun

.

Php · 10-12-2010, 08:53 AM

That's completely normal. My car shows the same temp. Normally the temp will be a bit higher in stop and go traffic compared to highway driving.

techlogik · 10-12-2010, 09:37 AM

No, it's like 245F...that is what mine ran this morning in 65F low humidity temp in stop/go in a 335i.

raceyBMW · 10-12-2010, 10:22 AM

Normal.

HoustonScott · 10-12-2010, 10:36 AM

That's scary, and the main reason I would never buy a car with that engine.

gary88 · 10-12-2010, 10:38 AM

Normal. The newer models even have the gauge centered at 250 now.

Blubaron79 · 10-12-2010, 11:04 AM

100% Normal.

I did drive the 335i and "d" is faster and more powerful....numbers are adjusted to sell cars...
The 335d is the flagship of the three series, not counting the M cars...

The d is faster and more powerful. The numbers are adjusted. 335d is the flagship of all 3-series.
