[QUOTE="rpmnut, post: 527132, member: 20757"] Found this on the US BMW Car club site: You can constantly monitor engine temp using the 'hidden' on board computer. Switch on ignition ... (don't start the engine) ... set trip oddometer to zero and release. Press trip oddometer button again and keep finger pressed on it. After a good few seconds, you'll see a warning triangle ... keep button pressed in. You'll then get in to service menu ... keep button pressed in. You'll then move on to hidden menu. Now take your finger off the trip button. Scroll through the 'hidden' menus to position 19 ... yes, you will need to press the button 19 times to get there. At 19 ... it will come up with 'Locks on' then 'Code 00' This is where you now 'unlock' the hidden menus. At this point you will need to press a set number of times and it scrolls through each time you press ... code 01 code 02 code 03 etc,etc The set number of times is found by adding up the last 7 digits of your VIN chassis number ... e.g. if it ends in say, ----5012434 .. then add up 5+0+1+2+2+3+4 = 17. You would need to press 17 times till 'code 17' comes up. You will then see 'locks off' appear. It will then go back to hidden menu 1 itself. You will then need to scroll through again to menu 7. after a second or two you will then see the engine temp displayed in Deg. C. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
