What I find interesting is that the hoses are not melting while being pressed onto the cylinder fins.

I was thinking about this as well; although it appears that the fuel hoses coming up from the tank rest against the rear of the engine. I was surprised to find that.

With the cooling kit the engines run cooler than some people seem to think.

When they released the Urban Cooling Kit upgrade in 2014; MMC published a comparative test based on an approx. 30 mile test route which ended with about 5 mins of idle.

Without the fan the engine temp at the end of idle was 243 deg C but with the fan was only 117 deg C at the end of the idle period.

Some more from my car:

The ECU records the all time peak values and also those for the last 4 trips.

When I last dumped the records the all time peak engine temp was 209 deg C which would have been before I had the cooling fan fitted and when the engine went into skip fire whilst stuck in traffic.

The last 4 trips included a 20+ min delay in traffic in well over 30 deg C ambient temp. During this the peak engine temp was 115 deg C

No odd spacer hoses on mine either. Does anyone feel we should add them? I haven’t encountered any problems without them...

The way you drive they were probably left behind on the first trip!

This is the beauty of this forum. To be able to tap into the collective experience of the M3W owners in this forum is worth a lot. Good job ladies and gentlemen.
