I took my M out this morning for a 35 mile trip, stopped in lights went up to 90 mph, the needle on the temp gauge never budged (which i commented on the to other half)and the fan never came on once, so you may have some blocked fins in the rad or the thermostat is not opening wide enough, there mus...

Re: noisy?

Hi Phil, another welsh zedder, the small key you should have turns the alarm off under the bonnet, you shouldnt have much trouble when the battery is working. The alarm is to the right side of the engine and has a plastic cap covering it. any problems let us know. :wink:
