Also what is the running temp for our cars generally? US cards are 190-210.... I noticed this X5 runs around 230.
My car is a manual so I control the shift points, but I dont think the autos take engine temp into consideration. As long as you are not in D3/sport+/performance driving modes and accelerate mildly the transmission will likely never shift above 3k rpm.
