But now, *SUPPOSEDLY* BMW has issued a recall for faulty oil temp gauges.

Anyone have an automatic tranny 335i that is having this problem?
I heard the opposite. That BMW forgot to install the secondary oil cooler on pre-december 06 production cars with automatic transmission.

All manual cars have the second oil cooler (located in the front fender), and now automatic transmission cars built after december 06' with the sport package have the second oil cooler too...
