X5dieselfan is on a distinguished road
just had the 9xx miles warning on mine as well, but have only gone 1060 miles. Warning went away on restart. I wonder if there is a problem with the pump from main tank to heated tank, or as someone else suggested, a bad sensor? It is above 32 degrees today...

Among the other quirks, the idrive shows your oil level but no engine temp and no urea level. Seems these are two things to keep an eye on... Bet it could be added through programming since the car is tracking both through existing sensors.

Cannot tell you how annoyed I am that there is no engine temp gauge on the diesel... just amazing.

I agree 1,000%. It really irks me that they have that stupid MPG gauge instead on the U.S. models, when for approximately the same cost or less they could have had a temperature gauge there, as apparently some markets receive.

I'm annoyed they don't put the temp gauge on the gas versions also in the US. In cold Minnesota, I always use the temp gauge in the winter to tell me when I can drive the car normally, until it warms up, I will baby it a bit.
