Where is the BMW Water Temperature Gauge?
1 Answers
BMW series do not have a water temperature gauge on the dashboard, but they are equipped with a water temperature sensor. If the water temperature is too high, the onboard computer will automatically display an alert for high engine temperature. In BMW coupes and M models, there is only an oil temperature gauge, not a water temperature gauge. Below are the reasons why BMW vehicles do not have a water temperature gauge: 1. Engine oil is the first line of defense for engine cooling, and since it directly contacts the inner walls of the engine cylinders, it better reflects the working temperature of the engine cylinders. 2. BMW models feature an oil temperature gauge, and temperatures below 120°C are generally considered normal. Do not mistake it for a water temperature gauge, as the system would already trigger an alert if the water temperature reached this level. Also, avoid comparing it with the water temperature gauges of other vehicle models.
