Just purchased an 02 CPO sterling grey--55,000 miles--pick one below--thank you
What is the normal operating--(not autocross) oil temp you should see on the tach gauge??--just a tick or two to the left of the 210 mark?--at about 11 versus 12 so to speak??--
Same question re engine temp gauge--it seems to stay just to the left of the straight up position?
What is the recommended tire pressure (not autocross but spirited driving on wine country roads--twisties)-- for the Michelin Pilots--I thought 38-40psi would work--but now I have softened worn off the shoulders of the front tires-- so I suspect I have already run the car maybe a little too hard--is 35 correct??
Does anyone know what a "howl" from steering columm or area sound might be--when in sport mode--that only happens after a while-engine warm--on right turns only---I have had my steering pump replaced under warranty--I will take car into dealer--but wondered if anyone has run into that symptom before?
Lastly--if you have to park it outside and leave alarm on all night every day--should I routinely run the slow trickle BMW charger say once a week--car is driven mostly daily driver--but some days it will sit for 3-4 days at a time (backup 911 for business use at times)--am I running risk of running battery down unless I do?
