328i 2008 6MT

I got my new car running for two weeks, then engine overheating red light suddenly was on. Had the car towed.

At the beginning, the dealer told me they found no issues. then later on I was told push fan was broken, they've ordered new one and replaced it. Just got my car back, but still I feel engine is extremely hot after around 15KM local drive, I can barely put my hands on it. Even after my car parked for two hours in the garage, still I feel it was very hot.

is this dealer BS? Any idea??? What might be the real problem here for a new car?!?

Oktoberfest? Your fan is placed backwards. I don't know man, this sounds like you should declare a lemon law and see what is covered in your region.

I see... kool i'm a newbie for bimmer anyways.

another thing i found is that there is no way to find engine temp on 328 model... uhmm... not sure if we should totally rely on software..
