not bad at at all. freaking scary I'd imagine. Looks like an oil temp gauge underneath the tacho. I've only hit 200 kms. image all that wind noise. Is that the oil temp gauge. it's hitting 135? that doesn't mean much to me.Originally Posted by Interceptor

Yes that's the oil temp gauge, and the temp looks way too high to me, the hottest i have ever seen mine in my M5 has been like just a tad over 100 and that was driving hard here in Sicily a few weeks ago on a 106 degree day. I cant imagine whats going on with that car.

Your 535i should be able to hit atleast 235 (or 240-245 chipped). Heck, I got to 240 on the clock with a chipped 525i.
Btw., maybe his oil level is low (or somewhere near the low mark on the dipstick), he lives in Kuwait and is running away from Bin Laden
