I have a 335, and the engine oil temperature on the gauge cluster is passed the middle, probably by a little less than a quarter of an inch, so roughly 240 degrees fahrenheit. For all you other 335 owners, does your car usually run at this temperature?

Thanks,

yeah, should be normal, that is what mine runs at as well.

the midline on mine is 250.......

Thanks homie...

This is actually my first Turbo car and my first BMW. So I wasn't sure what the temperature should be. I've driven N/A cars my whole life. My last car was an 06 Lexus GS, and the temperature never passed the middle mark.

It might be 250 on mine too.. I forgot, but if that's the case, my car is running above 250 degrees.

do you have a lot of hills or stop and go traffic? the only time mine gets to 250 is if i am in low gears for a long time. if you are just driving on a regular highway in high gears and it is actually passed 250 you may have a problem.

the 07 models have 210 as the middle for oil temp
08 and up i believe have 250 middle
i have the 07 and when i drive normally its usually around 210-220 and sometimes 230
yours is fine.

Mine stays around 220 when driving very easy.
It gets around 240 when I start to speed it up a bit.

When I am really on it and pushing it hard, it almost gets to 250.

When it gets to exactly 250, I stop pushing it, but this has only happened once.

Mine is an 07, and the midline is 210... I just checked. so it runs at roughly 240-250.

Thanks for all the help guys... I was getting a little paranoid.

Thanks,

hey dude, not to worry....

in the winter, my car usually gets to 220-230.....

in the summer, 240 all the tme, and sometimes slightly over if i push it for a while.....

also, note that most temp gauges on other cars are thermostats, whereas on your bmw it's an oil temp gauge, which is different.....

[methodtim]

Yup, normal, keep mashin.

[wt1110]

Good stuff guys... I just drove it for about 50 straight miles and it stayed around 220ish on the highway, in about 30 degree weather and around 230ish on local driving.

I've never seen mine go above 230.

The change in the oil temp gage (to 250 in the center) occurred with March 2007 production.

Along with the oil cooler on ZSP optioned cars, at least that was the rationale!
