Hi! You might remember me from the last 3 Ace cafe meetings (or maybe not xD)
Silver 3.0 Z4 red interiors
Recently it started to do something new. Before the temp guage was going to the middle and staying there no matter what. Now I was getting the symptoms of a stuck open thermostat (the gauge was barely making it to the middle, and was dropping one notch while driving).
Using the "secret" menu 7.0 I noticed that the coolant temp never exceeded 72-76 C (stupid me I never checked the reads when the temp gauge was behaving normal)
Now the odd part. I'm sitting in the car idling from 40 min and engine is at 76-77. When it gets there the fan starts spinning until the temp goes back to 75-74
Shouldn't the fan start spinning at 90 or above?
I still think something is off since the temp gauge fluctuates but maybe is a sensor or the gauge?
