just a thought.....i wonder if the newer v6 engines make so much heat...
any thoughts ? |
Wow, I was wondering about this myself, I own a 1987 260E. It is hot under the hood. Sometimes I need to check the level of the transmission fluids, which can only done after the car has run for a while on the road. So I pop the hood open and tried to reach for the transmission dipstick, it's so hot, like I am picking up a hot kettle surface with my bare hand. Now a day I keep a pair of winter gloves (yes thick winter gloves) in the car so that if I need to check the trans fluid I wont' get my hands burned. Enough said.
