Just read someone talking about engine temp and using a scan tool live data. What is that ? is it part of a OBD2 tool or built in?
sorry if this sounds too elementary, but I'm new to E60s.
Thanks.

It would have been part of an OBD2 tool. I don't think there is any way to display engine temp on an E60 without additional tools (unless you had the ACM and the CAN module installed, although that's very unlikely).
<edit> See above. I'm an idiot.

You can read the engine temp and stuff in the "hidden menu" that is a built in feature.

I'm concern that Im running a little hot. Between 205*F to 220*F while driving but no idrive warnings. Not to sure what normal driving temp is or what degree the thermostat opens.
