And real "car person" wouldn't mind installing an extra gauge or two to keep an eye on temps. Anyone who truly tracks a car and relies on the OEM gauge is an IDIOT IMHO. That's asking for a vague, inaccurate reading that could mean the difference between running hot and blowing an engine.

I don't know where this entitlement came from but its freaking ridiculous. If you expect BMW to make the perfect car for everyone it would have over 100k in options and weigh anywhere from 2,900 lbs and 4,500 lbs.
