Hi all,

I just picked up my '01 CPO M5 today (Titanium Silver, Silverstone sport interior, wood and fold-downs). Love it so far. I was wondering if you could answer a question about the temp gauges. First, coolant. Most BMW's I've owned had the needle straight up when warm. This one is to the first dot - noticably below half (I'd say about a third). Second, oil. My estimate from the guage is 175-180 deg-F. Is that normal?

Thanks,
Norm
