There isn’t an independent temp gauge but there is a temp gauge behind the tach correct??

I think BMW's position is that since the X5 uses synthetic oil that flows at cold temps. the vehicles don't need a temp. gauge. which is BS. They seem to be incorporating temp. gauges in other models but not the X5 apparently.

Page 72 of the '08 manual does not mention anything about temp reading in the cluster. KEF

The Pre-LCI E60/E63 had the white lines around the RPM gauge that would start around 4000-4500 RPM when the engine temp. was cold, and gradually go higher in RPM until the engine was fully warmed up. For some reason (according to the owner's manuals) neither the LCI E60 (2008) nor the E70 have this feature anymore. See picture below for the pre-LCI temp. lines.
One interesting thing is that BMW makes a video input module for iDrive that allows multiple video sources to be displayed on the iDrive screen and those people that have installed this module on the E60 have gained an unexpected bonus of a temperature gauge in one of the iDrive menus. I think this module is called the ACM module.
