What is the normal oil temperature for a BMW?

BMW oil temperature is considered normal between 110°C and 120°C, and it can be even higher during aggressive driving. To enhance engine performance, the operating temperature of the engine is increased, which in turn raises the oil temperature. Engine oil is often referred to as the lifeblood of the engine; without it, the engine cannot function properly. BMW is a German luxury car brand headquartered in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. BMW's vehicle lineup includes the i, X, Z, and pure numeric series (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), as well as the M series, which is an enhanced version based on these models.

The normal oil temperature range for BMW is typically between 100 and 110 degrees Celsius. Having driven a BMW for so many years, I can confirm this temperature range is standard. During city driving, the oil temperature usually starts around 95 degrees, and when driving on highways or long distances, it rises to around 105 degrees, which is completely normal. However, if the oil temperature spikes above 120 degrees, you should be cautious, as it might indicate a clogged radiator or oil circuit malfunction, requiring immediate checks on the coolant and oil pump. On the other hand, temperatures that are too low aren't good either. For instance, when starting the car in cold weather, if the temperature is below 90 degrees, the engine wear increases. It's advisable to wait a few minutes before driving at full speed. Personally, I make it a habit to regularly maintain and change the oil, using the high-quality oil recommended by BMW to stabilize the oil temperature. Remember to monitor the oil temperature display on the dashboard while driving; keeping it within the 100-110 degree range poses no risk. Prolonged high temperatures can accelerate engine aging and even lead to malfunctions. The air conditioning system also affects oil temperature—it's normal for the temperature to rise slightly when using the AC in hot weather, but it shouldn't remain excessively high for too long.

Does Water Entering the Window and Wetting the Seat Cushion Qualify as a Flood-Damaged Car?

Water entering the window and wetting the seat cushion does not qualify as a flood-damaged car. Here are the relevant details: 1. Flood-damaged car: Refers to a vehicle that has been submerged in water for an extended period. Generally, it means the engine and transmission have been soaked in water, and the water level has risen above the car's seats. 2. Additional information: The risk factor for flood-damaged cars is very high. Although they can be repaired to some extent, they still pose significant safety hazards. The longer a car remains submerged, the higher the probability of malfunctions. Electrical short circuits are a common issue in flood-damaged cars, and in severe cases, they can even lead to fires.

How Much Antifreeze Should Be Added at One Time?

It is appropriate to add 5 to 6 liters of antifreeze at one time. When adding antifreeze, pay attention to the marked lines. The normal liquid level should be between the MAX and MIN scale lines. The functions of antifreeze are: 1. To provide antifreeze protection for the engine against low-temperature environments; 2. To provide efficient heat dissipation; 3. To prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block and cylinder head when parking in cold winter. The steps to replace antifreeze are: 1. Open the engine hood of the vehicle, and the antifreeze reservoir can be seen in the upper right corner; 2. Open the antifreeze plug under the radiator to drain the old antifreeze; 3. Add new antifreeze, tighten the cap, and the antifreeze replacement is completed.

What does the car REST button mean?

Car REST button is the residual heat function of the car. It is called residual heat function because after the car is turned off for a period of time, you can still turn on the heating air conditioning through this button. This function will use the residual heat of the engine to continue to supply heat to the inside of the car, and the duration can be up to half an hour. The car REST button is particularly suitable for use when parking and turning off the engine for a short time in winter. It can keep the temperature inside the car and avoid a rapid drop in temperature. When starting the vehicle again, there is no need to turn on the air conditioning system to reheat the temperature inside the car. When starting, just press the REST button on the center console after the vehicle is turned off.
