Outside Temperature Guage
#1
Can anyone tell me where to fine the outside temperature guage on 2004 530i? While driving it the summer heat of Texas, the snow flake pops up on the instrument panel for a few minutes. This is noot happenning all the time, only once every 2-3 weeks. Is it possible the cable/plug is loose?

What is the reading of the thermometer when the snowflake appears?

It is either 34 or 37 degrees for a few minutes then start climbing to close to normal temp.

Very weird. My 3 series only shows when the temperature is drop to a certain point. I believe it's like 31 degrees Fahrenheit. I never had a problem with it.

The sensor is installed in the lower portion of the bumper...
There was a thread a while back that had a good photo of what it looks like on a car without the M-sport front but now the photo link is dead...

Here's a picture of my front with the sensor circled in red:
