Want to see how black or burnt is my engine oil also kennot.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />Of course, you will still know if there's overheating because your OBC will tell u and if worst, it will stall your engine to prevent ignorant driver from abusing the engine. In a way its good because I know many don't look at temperature gauge when they drive until overheat and engine stall. So what's the point of having a temperature gauge.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />BMW is working towards online alert/diagnostic system so the moment your engine is detected overheating, it will notify your SC and your SC will contact u to bring the car in for check up or arrange appointment if the fault is not too serious. Too bad Malaysia don't have it yet.</blockquote>
