2008 production date X5 question for all new owners

[X5 Meister]

Can someone tell me if BMW has started to phase out the mpg indicator on the instrument cluster and replace it with an oil temp indicator? This has happened already on the 3 series and numerous others. So basically if you have a 2008 X5, please post your production date (i.e. 1/2008) and what indicator you have "mpg" or "oil temp". Thanks.

The answer seems to be "no"

The X6, which shares the exact same instrument cluster with the X5, has water temperature in lieu of MPG.

I wish BMW would do the same on the X5, but it's too late for me. My E70 was just built last week.

So your production date is April 2008?

Yes, April 3rd. I'm doing a Performance Center delivery, but unfortunately, it's not until May 8th. The anticipation is killing me.

mpg 'indicator' is pretty useless - don't know why it was ever used in the first place
