BMW E91 N57 330D LCI Normal for bonnet and wiper blade to freeze after hour drive ?
Hi all,
New here and first winter with the E91 330D, i noticed the bonnet is still iced up and wiper blade was frozen again after 1 hour drive on the motoway ( outside temp -2/-1 which i am not sure is it normal as my normal journey with my previous car never seem to do this. Does these engine get hot at all, as i open the bonnet to check the engine it dont feel hot just warmish. Thanks |

Worth checking the hidden menu, to ensure the engine is getting up to temperature. But don't simply make a judgement on a sub zero check, I'd be looking to see how it compares to say 5C, or higher. Both for how the temperature climbs and its running temperature. |

As for the thermostat points. Worth checking anyway for DPF reasons but I'm sure that the thermostat reading low doesn't actually affect the temperature of your engine, therefore the ice issue, I'm sure it just reads low as the thermostat is broken but the engine is operating as normal "heat wise" just the ecu doesn't know? Correct me if I'm wrong however, just a thought. |

The bonnet on my M57 diesel often stays frozen on cold mornings on my 40 min commute to work. Dont forget there is a lot of sound deadening under the bonnet which also acts as insulation.
