This is very interesting. I see this as direct evidence for why an engine temp gauge is not included in any 2 Series. In one sense, there's no point because of the ECU nannying -- yet I'm kind of at a loss as to why that same predictive programming apparently doesn't extend to fan failure. Hypothesis: Possibly since it's not an internal part like the water pump is -- and because of the well documented water pump-failure issues early N20s had.
