bmw.maniac 1 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 Hi, My new e30 seems to run a bit hotter than other cars I have owned. When I start it the temp is in the blue, but this quickly rises to around half way in around 10 minutes. Is this normal, or is it something I should be worried about. Btw, it's a '88 318i Manual, and has recently had the radiator replaced. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpp 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2007 E30s should be at normal operating temperature at half-way. I've owned some that only went 1/4. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
