335i owners - are you feelin the HEAT

[chefwong]

I've been looking at the 335i myself. Just waiting for the xi as it's a daily driver out here in the Northeast.

I've read blurbs here and there about the oil temp issue and that's a concern.
Anyone else in the same boat

The overheating issue was a very very isolated case that was unfortunately overblown at the beginning of the model cycle. This isn't a cause for concern at all. I also believe the 335xi sedan can now be ordered since production has started. The 335xi coupe will come in a few months.

By the way, I've learned to stay way from the Car and Driver forms. The maturity level is just slightly less than that of a 2 year old. Plus there's so many "anti-BMW no matter what" people, I've really given up on trying to explain any kind of logic to them.

The main site was the fest.
The C&D just took some blurbs from other sites.

We'll see....I recall threads on the 'fest saying on DE runs, temps were around 300

No problems for me. Normal oil temps run around 225; its kinda weird that BMW didn't make that the midpoint of the thermostat (210). So many have asked is that normal, and it is.

There are some early prod builds that have fuel pump issues, but those were within the first 3 months of production (coupe).
