Coolant Temperature E90 320i 2006

[henrybs14]

Hi Guys

I've been looking all over google, but I can't find the answer.

Just did my water pump and thermostat yesterday. Filled her back up, bleed the system. topped her up, bleed her again.
Of what I can see on the forums, 93-98 degrees Celsius is normal. Though some suggest 105??

My car is running about 102 degrees, 105 going around the block.

Problem is, no one seems to own a 2L engine of these e90s so I can't see much around to help me.

Does anyone have some suggestions of where I can find the correct temperature?



Thank you!
Matt

I bet the proper temperature range is 95*C-100*C. Why? These engines are made of aluminum. That means the engines won’t tolerate temperatures much higher than those in that temperature range. Rebleed the system. I bet you e got air in it.
