High OIL Temp

I am not sure what is normal - but I have been running a ScanTool OBDLink MX Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner being displayed on Verizon pre-paid phone that I only use for this purpose. I leave the OBDLINK plugged on all the time and read the OIL Temp (among others) often. My oil temps (M235i Stock) stay in a tight range (226-230F) while in Comfort Mode in various outside temps.
.
Sport Mode & S+ both lower the oil temp & is an indication that oil is running thru the oil cooler.
.
Just completed a run from Birmingham to Huntsville in 80 deg temps outside in comfort mode (80mph+ for nearly an hour .. Oil Temp display 228-230F.
.
I run 5W-40 PP EURO & a 50/50 BMW Coolant MIX.
.
Over 240F seems HIGH. Tracking would be another story.
