Interesting numbers to look at here, with some hypothetical opinions sprinkled in.

Hopped into configuration for the BM3 S2+ tune and adjusted a few goodies:

-Reduced burble length to refine the decel. And not sound ricey. (What a change, sounds more exotic)
-Added in the GTS roar (people have to know its starting…)

Then the topic of discussion… MAX COOLING ENABLED.

As a background the Max cooling mode keeps fans on as well as other adaptations I am unaware of at this point.

That said, under normal driving conditions Engine Oil temp would sit pretty stead at 223*F and engine temp very similar.

With max cooling mode engaged both temps sat around 172*F. Thats around a 20% decrease in both engine an oil temps. Which for summer driving, keeps things inside the engine happy!

Or not?

After debating this, and theorizing; it can also cause prolonged and unnecessary strain on the cooling systems.

Post your thoughts, or any data points for discussion!
The car is designed to run at a certain operating temp for max efficiency and power.

Unless you are drag racing I wouldn’t bother. If you want to help with temps maybe take the engine cover off

Bought out my lease! 2020 230 xdriveM sport in sunset orange.

Seriously considered going with the I4, but couldn’t find one to drive locally. My buyout was $24K pre tax, trade in value $28k and retails close to $34K so financially made sense to me.
Still excited to drive my car so I’m glad I kept it!

Congratulations. Since you still love the car I think you made the right decision.

Over the weekend I spent a good 2 to 3 hours detailing the car. I even let my son help to shine the tires up. The car looks pretty pretty clean but could use a more in-depth buffing to address all the micro scratches in the clear.

I attempted to sell my car to make way for the new M2 but got zero interest and I feel like the market has come down a bit compared to last year. I didn't want to discount my car that much and with the new M2 a ways out I'm thinking about doing some more upgrades and keeping the car for a while. Researching some exterior parts- rear lip, rear diffuser, front lip. And then picking up the Dinan CAI, and Dinan lowering springs with rear spacers.

How do you expect the guy's working at the dealers are able to put there kid's through college, give us free coffee and doughnuts, free wifi, shuttles, loaners, damn it have a heart

I'd buy BMW hamburger and french fries if they were available

I had an operation recently, while I was under the surgeon nearly had a heart attack, after he made the first cut I bled, Light blue, dark blue then finally red !

Speaking of BMW gear, I am searching for a t shirt or tank top for my wife. This shirt would have the BMW "M" logo, and the M would be followed by "ilf". I want a "Milf" shirt for my wife where the M is the BMW M logo. Have you ever seen anything like that? I figure if you know how to find a BMW bike you might know.

LOL no great idea, but fraid not
if you get a M logo shirt, easy enough for a seamstress or t-shirt labeling company to sew one in
OR, make your own with an iron on transfer set from staples, print it out and then iron it on

My dealership has them in the showroom in their own little display. They seem like nice enough midrange bikes but I'm happy with my current ones.

They even have an e-bike. When the day comes I want to buy one of those I'll give them another look.
