Hmm... then why does it say Microsoft in the car.

If it's an older or cheaper model, it may not get sync 3 yet.

It feels like an E36M3 handling with E46M3 power.

Boy I sure hope so. Having had both I preferred the E36M3 but have to admit being thrilled by the power of the E46M3. Have been in an M235 for two years and am now moving to M2 in the hopes of exactly this!!

Already verified that a couple of times with my P3 gauge. Of course the coolant temp climbs quicker than the oil temp. Needle of the digital temp gauge of the BC is not perfectly in the middle as long as oil temp is less than ± 87°C.
