[QUOTE="KL2DC, post: 196545, member: 3452"] Its been discussed before. The E90 has an electric independent water pump and combined with an active engine management, the temperature goes up and down frequently to suit the engine needs. Having a water temp gauge will freak the owner out. That and oh....hmmmm cost cutting :p I just wait until the oil level sensor is able to do a reading before I push the car hard (the oil sensor will only do a reading when oil is up to operating temp) Btw the MY07 E92s (and E93s I guess) replaces the fuel economy meter with an OIL temperature gauge which to me is more important than water temp gauge.
