Show Engine Temperatures or Gear?

flypenfly · 10-14-2021, 12:57 PM

Is there any way to display either oil or engine temps on a 2015 228i?

Would be great to display gear on the automatic when not in manual mode as well.

You can use a tuning solution to view both. I can see my coolant temps using BM3 and my gear using xHP.

You can code engine (coolant) temp in a 3 series. We have the same code on our F22s. But when I did it (and others on this forum) it shows the coolant gauge at the bottom but the needle never moves.

Bummer.

You can use DashCmd phone app and OBDII reader $40 plus for both or BMW Drive Analyzer with phone to see engine parameters including temp. $140 plus
