does this seems normal? i didn’t notice anything wrong with the car and just realized oil temp gauge went almost full. maybe some sensor issue? would this possibly related with the some fan go full blast loud from the hood all the time?

239F (115C) is normal it's a hot day and you've been giving it a good run etc.
Are you seeing these temperatures in just normal driving?

yes. but not all the time only when sports plus mode is on and driving with little speed but nothing crazy, temp gauge went up like that, if i drive little more, it slowly comes back down to normal eventually. if i pull over for about 5min, it comes back down also.i have BMS intake installed, i wonder if thats the reason.
outside temp (top left coner) reads 10-20 degrees higher on summer,
fan in front of the hood runs full blast all the time when i drive, but seems like its a normal as i search and ask on this forums too, but also wondering if its ok as well because its so annoying.
did changed passenger side radiator due to a leak.
That's high even for a bit of spirited driving. I have to hit up a canyon road and really go for it to see temps this high even on a summer day. I see yours is a 2019. Mine is a 2019 as well. I got an ECU update a few years ago after a misfire. Actually happened at the end of a canyon run and I also had false warnings from the oil level sensor since day 1. They replaced the sensor at one point, but said ECU update fixed the misfire and the oil level warning, and the oil temp runs noticeably lower since then. Normal driving, even with some spirited highway driving the oil rarely goes above 210F. Not that it went way up before, but it tends to be as low as 190F-200F now just cruising along. Goes up a bit more in slow traffic. Feels like they had an issue with managing the oil temperature in the FL.
@kcxbaek Your water / coolant temp (bottom of the RPM gauge) looks like it is maxxed out. Guaranteed that is what is contributing to the high oil temp and your fan running full blast all the time. Check your engine coolant level and maybe do a vacuum fill of it.

I would still check for any leaks or air pockets. The highest I have seen while putting around town is 213F and it gets to 120F in the summer where I live.

checked coolant tank and looks like it over float?

Didn't even notice that, good eye. Was too focused on the engine oil temperature in the centre screen.

yeap. thats why i started this thread. i thought temp was normal because i kept an eye on oil temp after installing bms intake

Good catch. I didn't even pay attention to the coolant temp, but yeah that engine is boiling for some reason.
My 2019 C63 coupe fan only comes on occasionally (say 5-10 minutes)and does not run continuously. I find the coolant level can blend into the dash and can get somewhat hard to see if not being aware or not paying attention to it. Here is my numbers for the coupe.

looks like similar to mine. im guessing it was because of coolant over floating some reason. going to stop by mechanic soon.
212F is the boiling point of water and is what you want oil temps to be to take care of any condensation.
Water starts evaporating long before it boils. Don't need to boil it to get it out of the engine. Cloth dryers don't boil the clothes, either to dry them. Just need to drive long enough. A lot of short distance driving is the main factor for moisture and fuel contamination in the oil. Car manufacturers raised oil temperatures closer to 212F as it helps reduce carbon build up on the intake valves in direct injection engines, but the M177 has an oil separator to get the oil out of the intake before it has a chance to dry up on the valves. Oil getting too hot will cook it and the RMS failures that E63 owners see may partly be caused by oil that's not flowing smoothly anymore and clogging the oil separator.

Explains the moderately high temp. Quite a few of us have had to replace water pumps in the past but your car is relatively new so that's disappointing. Please let us know if the new water pump resolves it.
