Oil temp guage on a 325 sedan.

e90pilot · 01-10-2011, 12:20 AM

Ok I've done some searching and I've found some really cool guage mods but all I really want is to have an oil temp guage. That mpg guage is kinda useless. Can the car be reprogrammed to display oil temp if I install a new guage cluster w/ oil temp.

I think this can be done by programming only (no part change).

I was thinking the same thing but the needle shows MPG. I'd need an updated sticker or something to get some idea of what the needle means. Or maybe someone can get it to display on the LCD. I track my car so I would really like to see if I'm cooking my oil.
