Oil temp gauge
I wish there was an option to replace the efficient dynamics gauge with an oil temp one. It just seems like the logical place for it to be. Who else agrees?

Dan. I know. I just would prefer it to be there at all times while I can still view other info in The center.

Asking because maybe I'm missing out on something, but what info would you rather run on that screen than the temp? Since the day I picked up my car, I always had the temp displayed because I didn't find any of the other options useful.

But BMW must think you want to keep a constant eye on saving fuel rather than keeping an eye on oil temperature in your M car. |

It is actually a hybrid between coolant and oil temp IIRC (on a 2016 &2017). There is a hidden menu with separate oil and coolant temps though, but it is a PITA to access every single time.

Distance to empty, or navigation screen.

Here's a good hidden menu video in 'British' English.

In general it is annoying that they can't write a little bit of software to cycle through different gauge readouts instead of just the fuel economy display. I can't think of a good technical reason why you couldn't cycle through fuel economy -> oil temp -> oil pressure -> boost -> etc and back to -> fuel economy. That section of the instrument cluster is just a mini-screen, and that can be programmed to show whatever.

Yeah no problem! I was also looking for something like this when I first got the m2, and found out about the little hidden menu. The only thing was it is a huge PITA to get to the menu every time so I never really bothered using it, so I just got a gauge system via an Android tablet instead.

Imo too much money for way too little functionality. I prefer a full gauge system with data logging capabilities, i.e. an Android tablet running mhd, bm3, or ecutek.
For stock cars torque pro is fine.

Too many people do not understand how oil P changes according to the situation at hand. In any case modern engines should derate if they start to overheat. |
