Well I ran another test while I was on the highway giving the folks a tour of Texas and decided to watch my temps for an hour long drive. Part of the trip was through Hill Country but overall temps averaged around 76-79 doing about 80mph with the A/C blasting on a warm 90+ degree day. Priced out a bunch of parts to the tune of about $500 to do a full overhaul of pump, thermostat, tensioner, belts and few other odds and ends. Going to try a new parts source as everything was genuine BMW and $100 cheaper than the popular resources we see on the forums.
