Awesome cooling system
The hoses, belts, thermostat, fan, clutch and water pump and shroud were changed by me about 3 months ago....
The cooling system in this car is unlike anything I have ever seen before. (I have owed a lot of cars and many of them high end) I was driving in temps above 115 degrees. A/C on all the time. At times stop and go traffic and the trip home from sea level to 4000 feet.
The range of the gauge was a 1/16" before and after dead center. Concerned my gauge might be busted, I searched it out to confirm that temps do not climb on these cars.

Unless your water pump breaks like what happened to me, then you'll see it go to the red pretty quicklyOriginally Posted by BIGRED
But yes, the cooling system really is a feat of engineering in the E34.
