Also, time to update your sig!


I was one of the people initially going the most nuts about the lack of the oil or coolant temp in the cluster...and I stand behind my general assertion that this omission is just dumb on BMW's part...the cluster looks slightly "not completed" and isn't symmetrical as a result. It's definitely less than perfect.

With that being said...it is forcing me to pay better attention to how the engine "feels" through the throttle, and I think I am starting to get comfortable with that feeling and a warmed up engine.

My office is only 4 miles from my house, so I have no hope of any spirited driving with the morning as cold as they have been...but that should change for the better soon.
