I've just talked to some people about their BMW 130i and they said that their I-drive service menu shows actuall water temperature..... I mean actuall one... you can watch it as you drive and it changes by a degree every few seconds......
Does the E60 has it too??? I'm on an older CIP so I do not have it for sure.... What about you guys with CIP 20 and up..... any pics???

Water temp gauge? Heck, I'm still looking for my Weather Band that's been standard in every 5 series for 20 years....until this one.

My car has Weather Band in the radio panel. There are 7 WB Channels. Across the top of the initial communications selection band are FM WB CD AM (perhaps not in this order).
