Hi all,
This is my first posting in this forum but I'm reading it for some weeks now. Interesting!
From the beginning of last month, I'm driving a E61 525d. Very nice car! I'll post a photo when the weather over here gets better
My question: the manual says the display should give a warning when the diesel engine needs pre warming. But it's freezing cold here (-7 ?C) and my car sleeps outside but I can't find any warning at all when I turn the key...
Somebody any idea where I should look and what the pre-heating symbol looks like? The instruction manual doesn't show this..
Many thanks,
Chris

I have seen that few times below freezing temps. But because I use heater it does not appear every morning. When it appears I wait until it disappear before taking off.

Never seen the symbol - I just turn the key, hope I haven't knackered it! I'll take a closer look next time I drive it.
