Went on an extended shopping trip today and round trip was about 15 miles....

Car performed well but...

On about 5 occasions on this trip, the temp guage went over three quarters and returned to half shortly after!

Me finks it is thermostat but also couple this with the fact that blowers inside car very RARELY get warm!

Power is definately there but noticed a slight misfire too! Sport mode is very scary STILL lol...

Have I answered my own question or should I dig deeper?

BTW, rev counter works when it feels like it !!!

I think you both have this covered, I've also heard that the original BMW part is what is needed for this fix...

      Lower window molding

      Can you guys tell me the best place to order a lower window cowl molding for a 2013 BMW 320i? Mine is super dry rotted and I’m getting water in my driver’s side floor board. I checked the sunroof water tubes and they seem to work well. I also ran water on the outside of drivers door to see if it was the door vapor barrier but didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. The cowl is the only obvious thing that looks bad.

      E64 New Mats - Recommendation Needed

      Hi Paul Carpets are a "Touch and Feel" purchase in my mind for my wife's Subaru I had a local Carpet fitter make up a set. He did a great job all edges taped and stitched and the non slip pads on the back he was able to get the car mats out of off cuts (Contract quality Wilton in Beige). He charged around half the cost of Subaru direct might be worth tracking down a fitter and asking Another thought are Guys like Quarry Motors but again you would be buying unseen but at least they know what OEM BMW mats are.

      Wireless charging?

      S24 Ultra is QI charging compatible (which I belive the factory fitted OEM charging tray is) I have a QI wireless charger in the house for it. Like I say I get a Blue LED when I put the phone it the tray, but doesn't seem to want to charge, will borrow a friend's phone and try that. Thanks
