btw thats the highest I've seen mine go. will keep an eye on it on my next long drive and see if it gets to the middle where i would expect it to.

???????????

I am really confused.

Can you take a picture of your speedometer?

[edit] I'm so confused. I was certain the 328i had a L/100km floater needle, like so:



But this looks like a legitimate 328i cluster, too:


I wouldn't be too worried about the position. 90 degrees is not too bad for this winter time. It'll probably hover a little bit higher in summer. My 335i sat squarely at 120 on hot days, about the same position as yours on cold days, and 150-160 on track days (and my Golf R sits at 90, square in the middle, no matter what I try to do with it, which is completely awesome, though entirely off-topic).

The only problem of not getting +100 degrees is a water accumulation in engine oil. On the long term, the water change the oil conductivity and this affect the oil level sensor.

BTW, thank you Pseudo for the filter last weekend!

No probs, anytime!

No I know! But I thought the 328s had NO temperature gauge whatsoever, irrespective of what it might be, but in my second pic..... there is an oil temp gauge. So wait, what are you even saying, lol.

Yeah my 328 has oil temp. This symbol:



It doesn't have the coolant symbol like most cars, this one:




So I'm guessing its an oil temp gauge rather than a coolant temp gauge?

oops, i just clicked that my R has a coolant temp gauge, not an oil one. n00b alert. haha

Usually when it is water temp, once it has reached operating temperature, rarely does the needle move, if ever Oil is another matter entirely...

Yes. I little low from a reading perspective. You may want to hook her up to an OBD sensor to see if the ECU reads the same as the gauge. This way you can troubleshoot whether it is a faulty gauge, sensor or possibly bad thermostat/valve.

That paints a pretty clear picture

[kenneth]

Nice meet today folks. Thanks for coming, we'll organize another one soon.

[Foghorn]

Nice to put faces to names today, a pleasure...

[Basir]

I'd love to come to my first meet (and surely be the youngest one there), but Sundays don't work for me! I'll keep an eye out for the next one!

[overkill1125]

Hey guys, anyone can recommend me a shop to install h&r springs on my f30 328 xdrive?

Let me know what you suggest since I don't want to go to any shops that claims to do suspensions.

Thanks!
