I agree, the temp gauge is a bit silly. Tough to tell what is going on in your motor just using that. I should have said that I am trying to figure out the MAP cooling logic. I get the BMW gurus trying to balance fuel economy with performance, via the MAP function, but via the foxwell on my drive would watch MAP activate on long hills at 70mph in 30 deg temps, but by the time it did, the hill was over and the need for greater performance has passed. It also hardly seemed to me the type of situation that would require MAP cooling, but who knows.
