What is the normal coolant & engine oil temp of your 135i

Warriortogo · 04-08-2012, 10:37 PM

My one is engine oil temp107-119 and coolant temp 98-113!
Is it suitable?

RnmEvo9 · 04-08-2012, 11:03 PM

210 degrees fahrenheit for Coolant
240 degrees fahrenheit for engine oil

Sounds spot on - mine is exactly the same.

I have seen the coolant temp drop to about 100*C after driving for a time and under certain conditions (can't recall exactly what those conditions are). One thing though is that the coolant temp always first goes up to about 110*C for a while before dropping back and it doesn't always drop back (I think I've seen it do it twice only).

During normal use running down the highway:

210-212F - Coolant
230-240F - Oil

onefastman · 04-10-2012, 09:45 PM

190-205 coolant
220-230 oil

When I'm hard on it for extended periods oil gets to 260 (seen 270 at a de)

i have changed the coolant from bmw one to redline few day before. it is great! The water temperature reduced around 10.C!

How are you getting your coolant temperatures? My 2013 only has an oil temperature gauge.

mike the snake · 12-29-2012, 08:48 AM

I was wondering the same thing. My 08 only has oil temp guage.

I use the torque pro app on my phone and a OBD2 bluetooth adapter and while on the highway I see temps at about 210F and while playing around I see temps as high as 225F(which I'm wondering if that's okay). My oil temps never get higher then 250f thought.

wjk_glynn · 06-30-2013, 10:25 PM

I recently acquired an '08 135i Coupe (6pd, Sport Package) and today I took note of temperatures under a few different driving conditions.

The listed locations are in the SF Bay Area (South Bay & Peninsula)...

Suburban driving around San Jose, air temp 86F :: Oil temp = 240F
Highway, 30 miles @ 75 mph, air temp 85F :: Oil temp = 230F "steady state"
Prolonged stop-n-go along 92, 2 miles, air temp 79F :: Oil temp = 230F-235F
3rd gear "spirited" climb from 92 & 35 to 35 & Tunitas Creek, air temp 80F :: peak Oil temp = 260F
2nd gear "spirited" climb from Hwy-1 & Tunitas Creek to 35 & Tunitas Creek, air temp 75F :: peak Oil temp = 255F

JB4 gauge Hijack will give you additional engine temperatures

Freon · 07-01-2013, 11:28 AM

Cobb AP can also log or live display any temp that has a sensor on the engine (air, coolant, oil, etc) on the AP handheld unit. I got a "universal" cell phone suction cup style holder and hang it from the windshield.

Miko226 · 07-01-2013, 11:36 AM

My temps are around 240 for oil and 200 for coolant during summer in south florida although summer has not peaked yet it will may vary a little

Taking this a bit off topic. But torque pro doesnt read boost right on my car - only ever gets up to 3psi.

Do you have a similar problem?

kleach18 · 07-06-2013, 04:04 AM

Nope... It reads fine, at least before I installed my JB4

I have the same problem.

It freaked me the hell out the first time I noticed. It was a week after I got my car back from a wastegate repair. haha!

haha same. I realized it pulled too hard to only be making 3psi, and I googled a bit and seems that it happens to other people too. I think I read something about the sensor torque is using to measure boost not being the correct one... not entirely sure.

Yeah. I did a few 0-60 runs and averaged 5.7 on winter tires in the rain. Figured the sensor was off at that point.

Texoma1836 · 02-08-2017, 07:52 PM

Sorry to bring this back up guys, but it's 64° F here in Texas and my Kiwi3 is reading my coolant temp at 236°. I've already had a electric water pump failure that caused my coolant to literally boil away and made me go into limp mode in the middle of nowhere. That was replaced about 3 months ago, am I already having problems again?

blue135 · 02-09-2017, 09:59 AM

As I said in another thread, mine run 215-225 under most conditions here in FL if I am in city traffic. (City traffic here is not like big metro areas.) On highway, I run 210-215 with oil almost dead on 240.
