What is considered normal indication for the temp gauge when at normal operational temp? I am not getting any overheating warning but I notice my gauge marking goes up to only showing 3 white lines (at top) sometimes 2 for long driving. Wanted to make sure this is not something that's about to go wrong.

Also, other than that temp display using the hidden menu can I use INPA to determine the operational temp?

Thanks

Mine has never had cooling issues(of course I maintain) and 2 ticks has been normal.
I think 184-200 is normal temp. 225 maybe because I know BMW engines run a little hotter. I've never actually check the temp though.

Mine will often be over 225 in just routine driving around town. (535xi)
