Was wondering whether it was normal - seems like your is the same. On mine, the temp also rises and drops really fast.As for 120 degrees - my E93 335i can run anywhere from 110 to 130+ on the stock oil cooler and anywhere from 110 to 120 on a larger aftermarket oil cooler. After 4 years, all is still good (touch wood). Seems like Bmw likes their engines to run hotter - I presume for efficiency.. I was initially very concerned with the oil temp hitting above 120 regularly.</blockquote>
