I think this temp gauge feature is not available in the LCI models anymore.

It is in the M5 but no the normal LCI cars.
it was on my previous ride (545) and like you say on the LCI M5, so just presumed nothing had changed.

I was getting all excited about a feature I didn't notice, then realised its not in the LCI 
I might ask our fleet manager if I can have my pre-LCI back for the day to check this out 
I'd always wondered why BMW didn't have a temperature gauge feature, but it turns out I had one for 18 months and didn't even notice 
Maybe I will read the manual one of these days.... maybe

Not much usefulness to it, but I still thought it was a cool feature. (Even though I've never owned a BMW before this one.)

Guys, I have an 08 535i LCI and i still have this kind of temp guage. It's pretty interesting how they have this kind of guage on a turbo car while practically BMW should put a digital temp guage since the N54 TT engine runs alot hotter. Especially with a tune, it's advisable to have a digital guage since these things aren't that reliable.
