I drove the car last night in heavy traffic from the Temple to Pall Mall  (about a mile, about twenty minutes).  The temperature needle sat bang in the middle of the DIAL.  This was comforting.   

 

The car has slightly sensitive front and rear parking sensors, so it whoop whoops "Yellow Alert, Klingon Warbird de-cloaking" every time a motorbike courier swishes by.  I rather like this.

Yeah, never gets hot, and the needle only seems to move coldwards when running at speed.

If you need some legal* advice, there are plenty on here who will give you the benefit of their opinions!

I HATEZ to say this, but sometimes being a bit modern is a thing.  Mega frosty this morning in rural Oxonshireland.  I thought to take my SD1 to the station for the 0613 train, just because because, but it was not at all keen to start.  I probably could have got it going by spraying canned wombat jizz into the carbs and all that bollocks, but I could not be arsed.  The E39 started up straight away, and I set it to demist while I slurped tea.   The SD1 would look cooler posing outside the station, but you can't have everything.

The E38 I have hits the middle of the temp guage at 75 deg, Then stays bang there until 119 Deg C when it gives a little wiggle

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At 120 Deg it buries itself in the red

 

Hate BWM ECU controlled readouts - find the secret menu on the dash and see what the real temperature is my advice

That's lovely, what a great colour. If you need someone to drive it from one bit of Bucks to another, may I offer my services?
