08 Temp. Gauge Question

I have an 07 X5 4.8 and it bugs me that there is no temp. gauge but it has a MPG gauge that is a waste of prime dash space. I was wondering if the 08 has a temp. gauge.

I don't believe the Premium Sound option on the X5 E70 is a Logic 7 system.
I think it's a few additional speakers in the rear and their associated wattage.

Then don't get the heads up, the comfort seats are MUCH more comfortable than the sport seats.

Totally agree re. Mobil 1 and Amsoil. I thought it was interesting that the Castrol quart container at the dealer said BMW on it.
Probably just marketing BS but I would rather use the factory fill.

You check the oil level and other wear items like brake pads etc., electronically in the computer system, it's very easy. It would take longer to explain than to read how in the manual.

Totally normal, I added a quart at 7,000 miles. A quart every 7,000 miles is actually low oil consumption. I dropped by the dealer and 10 munutes later I was on my way.
