Hello, welcome and congrats! Lovely cars the 211s and the M113 engine is lovely.

What does the engine temp move up to? These engines are overcooled generally so I wouldn’t think you have an issue.

Just above 90 is fine. To give you an idea, my CL500 was fine to trog around downtown Florence in August for two hours looking for a parking space, with the temperature gauge not moving above 87..!

Congrats on your E55 purchase.
I had some great times during my 6+ year ownership of a 2004 E55.

Congratulations and a wise choice, though not at all biased.

Nice car congratulations. As above, 90 sounds fine.

Congrats on the car and an absolute legend of an engine!

Nothing wrong with preventative maintenance. Now try an avoid all the blind and dumb morons on the roads who seem hell bent on crashing into nice cars.
