fluctuated between 95 when driving on open roads at a steady 59mph up to 110 when pottering in town which did seem a tad warm?? I could occasionally hear the fan cutting in thus lowering temp so guess that's operating correctly.
In my experience, that is pretty standard. When we've done Aero road trips, most seem to sit around 100-105 but 110 isn't uncommon.
The engine compartment is cramped and you'll notice how much heat the engine gives off when you drive the car in the summer and get stuck in traffic - heat soak into the cabin footwells is cured by using the A/C and without it on, you soon realise just how warm BMW V8s run.
I totally agree ......thank our maker for AC
