My Ride: 2007 550i
Default

Hello All,

I recently purchased a 2007 550i and still finding out new things about it. I noticed the "white striped advance warning field" in the tachometer. I realize the lines go down as the car warms up to normal operating temp. I noticed 4 lines stay visible even after the engine is warmed up. Is that normal or should all the lines disappear?

Great car by the way. Loving every second of it

Thanks.

Sucks the LCI cars do not have the variable tachometer warning segment. Or wait, maybe the manual LCI cars still have it. Either way, seems cool, but I don't have it!
