Hi, new to the board, just got a nice 2005 545 with Step. I noticed that there is no temp guage, just the disapearing lines on the tach. And no oil pressure guage. Am I not looking in the right place? I never have had a car without these!
Just sold my 996, I love the 545!!! :) Regards, Brad |
Well theres always a first... This is your first car w/out these guages! Oil Pressure guage??? This isnt a porsche you dont get that. hahaha Temp guage... ya its your first.

C'est la vie!!!!

You don't need those things now. Your i-drive screen will tell you when its experiencing problems.

There'll always be a first time and it does take sometime getting used to, I am forgeting about the temp gauge in my E39 as we speak.

[/quote] Hey are those lines programmed into the ECU where if I try to rev that high when the car is cold it'll just bounce off them or am I still free to rev to the "real" redline? Nope I never tied... I aint trying it on my car! HAHAHA amybe I'll try it in a loaner car next time. :wow: |
