Prior to the flush I recall temperatures getting to 91-92 degrees and settling around 89.

This morning, the temperature in motorway speed traffic got as high as 95 and settled around 92-93 degrees.

In stop start queuing the temperature was as high as 98 fluctuating between 95 & 98.

Is this normal?

The coolant was Comma G48 which is BMW spec.
What was the condition of the old coolant?
I'm not sure Buddy. My mechanic made the swap and didn't comment on the old coolant.

After a little more stop start driving during which time the temperature peaked at 100, got back to motorway speeds and the temperature was steady at 92-93 occasionally hitting 94.
