Hello Everbody, I've newly owned a 2004 BMW 530i, I work in Saudi Arabia, and as you might know the temp. in summer here is high as hell, somedays more than 120F, so Im just worry about how to check if the car is not overheated as there is no temp. gauge. can you help me with the secret menu's?
Thanks in advance

First you need to know your 5 last number on your vin code. The car number. You can see it on your registeration or under the hood where's your suspension is..
Mine is 30577 ( the last 5 numbers..) calculate the sum of them. Mine is 22. Keep that in mind..

Then Go start your car and press confessor Meter down as long as you can see that secret menu.. Dont mind about the car service things this time. Just keep
it down as long as it shows something on text. Then release your button and press it to folder 1.. 2.. 4.. 16.. to folder 19.(it sould be 19 with you too. Any way the you see CODE ON text there wait a second and then press (in my case i press that putton 22 times) then your secret menu is released or so and it automaticly jumps to ''folder'' 1 (one)
the press the putton again to folder number 7. and wait few second and there you can see the temperature of your car..

I hope you can make something out of my text..
