My Ride: F10 528i
RC,
N55 engine only have one turbo instead of the N54 with twins.
Our turbo working range starts from 1000rpm so on, therefore its always spinning which created heat. imagine such a small turbo working on a large car (F10)
Since we can't mod it like the Japs with intercooler + tubing/Pipes. (also engine re-mapping in the case)
There's no point in HARD MODDING the engine just to cool it or get more power out of it.
Just buy another car.

BTW for our 528 NA engine, temp. around 95F for these days. I am surprised on the low temp. Much lower than my previous cars.

I Learned from a nice guy who is technician of bmwhk TW, that the engine of his own E36-328i gain much more power after he changed the water cooling pump(??), or sometime like that, which resulting rising temp from 90 C to 110 C.

Today I finally bought some new tires for my E60. They are Nitto NT05 which are mainly for dry road. Will let you know how they perform when the weather is good.

we have made a new F10 535 over 2 years so better to get the cash back.
Funny thing is my dad told me to change the car to F10 535 and I say no wait for other year or so and see how the market is on cars.
I don't thing we will drive other BMW in our next car unless the iCars are very good.
