240D owners: What's your oil pressure at idle?

Mine has always been pretty high. The oil pressure gauge is pegged at 3 bar for quite a while after a cold start until the engine is totally warmed up at which point the gauge would typically be at 2.5 bar which still seems pretty high compared to the 300D's that I used to have (those would usually show 1.5 bar). Only after a long freeway drive does it drop to 2 bar. I was wondering about the elusive oil cooler thermostat, but after doing some research I have the impression that only the turbo models have them, but I'm not sure. If my car has it it would seem that it's stuck open, resulting in cooler oil and higher oil pressure reading. But before I tear into the oil filter housing, I want to check with other 240D owners to see what kind of oil pressure is typical for this engine.
