I just can't ever recall cruising at that speed and holding Rpm's at 4,000. Could this be why OP is running a bit hotter, as I have never seen my gauge go over 210 on normal day to day driving regardless of the duration of the drive . Also I imagine the M3 would just guzzle gas at that rpm.
You're not alone here mate, another lazy bastard over here preferably keeping rev down when cruising. Not that it comes low even in 7th gear but anyhow.

Ps. Proper gas consumption still kept though.
