I also come from working on simpler cars from simpler times, but understand what you signed up for here.
Nice job with what you've done so far, sounds like she's coming along. Hope you find the driving experience as rewarding as I do. Juice is 100% worth the squeeze IMO.

Good to know thats normal then. It does drop temps when I get above 4-5k rpm. I have bled twice now, and using zerex g48 blue. I believe the car was driven regularly then covid it got parked for a while then being drove again its presenting a few issues.
I do love the car even with it being auto. Overall happy with it even though the cosmetics need attention. Mechanically pretty good just stupid bmw codes and little stuff.
Biggest thing I've noticed is the dme gives me a 328i vin, the trans ecu/module gives me an x3 one.Oh well drives fine and seemingly wants to bang through the gears effortlessly.
