Engine hit! Drive moderately!

[Kamz119]

Hey guys,

Car: 335i 2009 convertible

Noticed this 2 days in a row now.

After a 30 min journey - I get a engine temperature Waring in the IDrive and to drive moderately - if the problem persists then to contact your mechanic.

Funny thing is, few weeks ago I went into NRMA (big mechanic in Australia) as they service the car and repaired an prev faults I’ve had - and told them I felt the engine seems hot. They ran some tests and said everything was fine.
I also googled of other people had hot engines,
As my bonnet is super hot over one spot - and found everyone is in the same boat.

I’ve seen no leaks from the car, and the coolant levels are good.

Think it’s a faulty sensor?

As soon as I turn the car off and back on, that warning disappears.

Sounds totalled. You will probably need to replace the entire car with a e9X M3.
