My Ride: 07 530 Titanium Silver Sport/Premium PKG OEM Mtech Kit
Need help???? What is the normal operating temp. on the E60? my 530 seems to run hot and stays consistent between 205 degrees & 220 deg on noraml driving and goes down at 190 deg at the lowest when on idle parked with the fan running.
Is it running hot? what temp does the thermostat open? I have been monitoring my engine temp the last couple days using my scan tool live data while driving.
Is this normal operating temp on the E60??? no warning signs on idrive. Please help. Newbie on the E60's.

I have a 2005 545i.
Just came back from the dealer yesterday. My coolant temperature was 96*C = 204.8*F.
That was considered normal.

Hmmm..I guess 220 F is normal operating temp then. Thanks for all the info. Very close to 50/50 mixture of boiling point.
