My undertray is pretty torn up when I bought the car. My oil temp goes from 210/212 to 219/220(224 the highest I've seen it) when street driving normally and getting on the freeway but eventually cools down after cruising. Weather temp is currently 75F+ in California. AC is on when this happens too. Last oil change was about 4K miles ago. Only started happening recently. Would my undertray be the culprit or something else is going on ?

Oil temp reading is from my M performance wheel.
Mine settles in a similar place and fluctuates from there. I also thought it odd since my previous M3 ran cooler like the other pic.

My current M3 is manual and my previous was DCT. That couldn’t make a difference could it?
