BMS Dual Cone Intake Question

[Gstocco2121]

ok im sorry if this is being posted in the wrong place but its starting to worry me. So about two months ago i purchased the intake and installed it myself and since then i notice my oil temperature get hotter way quicker than it used to and also take longer to cool even after i turn the car off. so my question is if something bad is happening or what even if i don't drive the car it gets hot pretty quick but it never rises over 240 °F


thanks for the help

Is that your only mod?
My guess is you are watching your gauges too much, the intake change shouldn't effect oil temps.

An open intake like that DCI will not affect oil temperatures, however, they do impact your intake air temperatures quite a bit especially down here in Florida. I love my stock box!

no i also have the jb4 but it even happens when i run map 4 idk if its just me but i think it definitely gets hotter quicker than it used to

Just curious, is there a reason you chose map 4?

So, map 4 is stock with can active, I believe.
Driving hard is the only thing that will create higher oil temps, stock or tuned.
Maybe check your oil level, that might effect the temps a bit.

how long does it normally take for ur oil temps to get up to 240 and also how long does it take for ur car to completely cold down

It's probably the weather getting warmer.

you should probably try map 5. Autotune.

This...two months ago when the outside temp here was 30 degrees it took 20-30 minutes to warm up my car and it never got past 220. Now two months later it's 80 degrees out and it takes 5-10 minutes to warm up may car and it gets to the normal 240 degrees.

[awns729]

Yup I hit 250 pretty easily actually if it' above 50 degrees, max out at 260 in traffic. 235 during winter though.

It's probably nothing to worry about, and the suggestions above me are great and one is probably right, but just in case, another possibility exists if you changed your oil recently. I didn't see it brought up in the thread, but when did you last change it, and did you switch the brand/oil that you used? I always use a BMW recommended oil, but I notice that switching between different oils (especially between full synthetic and BMW's synthetic mix) affects average oil temperatures by as much as 10 degrees depending on the oils. Just something else to consider on top of everyone elses' great suggestions.

Try getting the Oil thermostat mod...
