I ran Thunderhill back in July 107F outside temp, my needle got to about 1/4" of the 300, which tripped the orange thermometer. I backed off for the rest of the session, and car stayed at 3/4 mark for duration.

I had been running Total Quartz 10W60 after BE bearing install, and was seeing temps as high as 230(93-98 outside temp). Switched back to Castrol TWS and now consistently seeing 200-215 max with the same outside temps.....

Yours looks par for the course. Once I got out of traffic and moving I was about where you were. Thanx for the picture!

N54s see 230-240 degrees normal driving and peaks of 245-250 with spirited driving. Out of curiosity do you S65 folks have oil coolers from the factory?

Yes we do. Our thermostats have been criticized for their response to heat relative to how it opens and closes. Also our oil retains heat way more than the oil in the N54. I had a 335 before my M3. Heat soak annoyed the shit out of me with that car. It was very quick but couldn't hang long.

Just catching up with this now. The image below is after about 30 minutes of "spirited" highway running between 80-105, and then about 5 mins of sitting in a parking lot idling. My car is bone stock and this is where my temp needle lives 95% of the time, which I always thought was impressive given that in AZ we see these temperatures daily for about 5-6 months of the year.

I love seeing so many high mileage M3s. There are so many out there in the 125-175k mileage range that we never hear about with owners still flogging them and smiling ear to ear.
