I have a '97 328i with 116,000 miles. A few times the past month, the
temperature gauge has quickly climbed from the normal dead-center
position into the red when at idle. Either revving the engine or
getting the car moving would cause the needle to drop fast back to
normal. This morning the gauge went into the red at 40 mph and then
quickly dropped back down, so whatever the problem is, it's getting
worse. I do not see any leaks or low coolant in the reservoir or
radiator. Thanks for any help.
