YesDo you have to do this every time you start the vehicle?
See above answerThats what I want to know. If not, I'll keep this up because all the numbers are interesting to me
There is a lot of items it can display. On my last BMWs I mainly used it to monitor coolant temps.Sweet info, thanks for the details! Can we check any other diagnostics in this menu? For example boost pressure, A/F ratio, etc...?
Unfortunately, no. The temp data is really the only thing I found useful other than Dyno mode.Sweet info, thanks for the details! Can we check any other diagnostics in this menu? For example boost pressure, A/F ratio, etc...?
The car runs pretty hot around town anyways from what I've seen. Around 220F coolant temps and 230F oil temps. Neither of which are much of a concern to me. Once you start to drive the car a little harder, the coolant temps actually drop (likely due to electric water pump) and the oil temps stabilize.The oil temp of 111C at idle in the video is a bit of worry
Thanks for sharing, this is a video that I had put together after talking with a few of my BMW friends. If you guys want to see anything else, let me know and I can post it up.maybe everyone knows this already, if not, here ya go:
