Engine temperature goes over 250F

Tom Droze · 03-01-2015, 01:42 PM

I have a 2012 328i (e92) with a N51 and I have an oil temperature gauge. Interestingly enough, yesterday I installed a Bluetooth device that sends engine data to my cell phone (similar to the BMWhat app). Yesterday I was driving around monitoring water temperature with this app, and while my oil temperature settled in at 250 F (which is where my oil temperature normally is), my water temperature oscillated between 210 F and 218 F.

I was also impressed with the coolness of my air intake temperature.

It is an oil gauge and it is normal to hit up to 250F.

On the higher end of what I have seen via the digital gauge on my V1 perf wheel. Generally in the 210-240 range for oil temp.
