Running temp seems normal... My E7 oso around 85deg when driving around or cruising on highway... If idling wif aircond on, same reading... But if idling without aircond, temp goes up to almost 95deg then only fan start running...
Basically not much diff for stock radiator n aluminum radiator... Just changed to AVS radiator coz my stock ones had a bit of leaking issues...
