Hi Guys,
I recently bought a BMW 1995 740i and I love it. My first BMW ever. Just yesterday, I noticed that the car gets really hot outside even though the outside temperate isn't much. It showed 48 C temperature even though the temperature outside was only 33 C. The engine temperature gauge is constantly at the center (exactly in between C & H). I am not sure if this is normal..? Could someone please let me know if I should be worried?
Also, the 2nd problem ive noticed is that, when I get out of the car, there is a distinct smell of fuel from somewhere under the car. I got this checked at the local mechanic and he said it was just the "Gear Oil Leak which goes into the exhaust and hence the smell". I do not know if this is correct..
3rd problem, when I drive, the range keeps up quite nice and is almost exact but the moment I stop the car and start it again (like stop at a mini mart to pick something up), the range drops drastically and so does the fuel gauge... I do not know where the fuel is disappearing... I understand that the car is old and its possible that the range might not be correct but the fuel gauge just drops drastically! Last night, I drove around 300KMs and when I got back, there was still 1 quarter tank of fuel as per the gauge. Today morning when I checked, the fuel gauge was showing only half of that! That it, from 20L, it went down to 10L! This is a big concern for me...
Really appreciate if you guys could help me out in figuring out what could be the reason behind all this and if it is normal...
Car: BMW 740i E38 (1995) Japan Import. 255000 KM driven.
EDIT: I have already checked with the mechanic regarding the fuel leak but he said there was no fuel leak at all...
Thank you so much for your help in advance!
