Default There is a cooling fan in the center console to keep the radio and HVAC units cool....

Can you check that as a first step?

Best wishes,

Default around 200 degrees for oil temp; in the middle for coolant

There have been a couple of times where once the car's been warmed up and I've started it up, the coolant temp shows slightly right of middle for a few seconds then moves back to the middle.

I'd think that Pro-Imports would check this as part of the 80k service I had done there.

Default normal. so, it's not a coolant or oil temp issue. my guesses are like Ram said, your fan or

you are forgetting that the turbos get really hot and are literally right by your feet
