My coolant system is set up for hot summers. Trying to warm up at idle does not work. The X5 needs to be moving. It was at half way between blue and mid gauge after 15 minutes. Once I was moving, within 1 mile, it was up to temp. I'll set the seat warmer to mid range this afternoon. I'll see if it turns off. The low range does not turn it off.
