Hi Guys,

I read on here somewhere that BMW removed the white lines that go around the rev counter according to engine temperature in one of the software upgrades. I updated my software yesterday and thought this would be the case. This morning when i drove my car, The white lines were up near 4000rpm just as they were originally.

Have the put this back on a newer software upgrade?

I think it's the other way around.
The newer models do not have the white lines, and you have to get a software upgrade to activate them, rather than deactivating them.
