Quick Tip Reduce Overheating in BMW Bavaria

In the past, while waiting at the San Francisco Bay Bridge toll plaza, my temperature gauge would routinely climb from 192° to 215°-220°.

About five months ago I had a three row radiator core installed. My Bavaria now runs at 180° and climbs slowly to 205°-210°.

I heartily agree with Mr. Holman of San Rafael that the larger core is the best way to go.
