Have an 12 X3 35i, and have noticed for the last 3k miles sometimes my temperature climbs to 240 briefly but then backs down to around 200. This happened on a 2000 mile trip from TX to DC and have noticed it driving on the highway mostly. is this normal ?

Thanks

Temp gauge indicates oil temp not coolant temp.

From the Manual:

Engine oil temperature
Cold engine: the pointer is at the low temperature end. Drive at moderate engine and vehicle speeds.
Normal operating temperature: the pointer is in the middle or in the left half of the temperature display.
Hot engine: the pointer is at the high end of the temperature range. A Check Control message is also displayed.
