Yesterday, while driving at the airport just to drop off a friend. Got a message on my dash stating that my engine temperature is too high, drive moderately and if message appears again. contact service dept. something like that, didn't really get the whole exact message. anyone has this problem before. car is an 06 with 8,000 miles.

My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
were there any of the marks left above the red line gauge? I always have 3 at operating temp and in 80-90 degree weather in stop and go traffic they never disappear - so if yours are going away I would get it checked out

actually that was the first thing i checked. everything checked out to be normal. 3 lines were visible at the time of the message appeared. i'm hoping it's just a glitch. just like the speed sensitive volume, sometimes the volume goes up or goes low once in awhile while driving a constant speed at the freeway. and the rds keeps unchecking it's self on my radio.
How is your oil level? On other cars I have seen accelerated coolant burn off when the oil has been low for an extended period. I suppose you could also have a faulty thermostat.
