     3 The radiator does not cool the engine well  on very hot days. When 
     it is over 100 F outside, the temperature gauge is just over half way. 
     Oil temperature is also a bit high at 230 F. the engine installer put 
     in a 70 C thermostat to replace the stock (92 C) thermostat. I am 
     really amazed that BMW runs their new engines this hot. I wish I could 
     get a higher capacity radiator in the small space in front of the 
     engine.
     
     
     John,
     
     Does the car currently have or could you add a pusher fan to the front 
     of the radiator?  Also I suggest you take a trip to an American Iron 
     hotrod shop.  These guys have to deal with cooling problems all the 
     time.
