Hi guys,

Thats the thing- regardless of how much time it takes to warm up the X5, the temperature needle is supposed to eventually point towards right the center of the gauge and stay there, no matter whether the weather is cold outside or too hot (unless something is wrong the car is heating up etc).

In my case, if i were to turn on the ignition the car WILL heat up until normal temperature, but as I start driving in the cold weather (mind you its not that cold in Jordan) the car cools down as if i had just turned the ignition on- which is bad because it then performs weakly.

The only reason I said it might be a BMW issue is because the same thing happened with the 97 M3, 2001 330CI, 2003 520I and now my 2002 X5. Some BMW dearlers say its fine (they dont care unless the temperature was actually going too much the other way around i.e. heating instead of cooling) while 1 of them took the M3 and had something done which fixed it.

I didnt want to let it get to me, but the colder the weather is getting around here the worse the condition becomes and its annoying.. I thought maybe knew of a quick fix or something..

Thanks again

Pravda
