Carly - rip off
I purchased it costing £65 I didn't realise it won't even let you measure coolant temp without subscribing to a monthly direct debit. Really annoyed, literally has no function out of the box

Re: Carly - rip off
Even more annoying it used to be you paid once and that was it , now its a subscription service so you pay every year  .  You don't need carly to measure engine temp you can unlock the hidden menu (see you tube on how to do it ) and it will be on the dash then till you take the key out

Honestly I was shocked that it literally has no function.
I'll check YouTube video for hidden menu
A seriously silly thing bmw did by removing coolant temp

Depending on the year of your car this is the gadget i have in my e90 but will work in any car (diesel after 04).

Re: Carly - rip off
Critical Leslie, but think of all the extra work BMW will get from customers who will overheat and not even know.   I would say from BMWs point of view it’s a great idea.

Re: Carly - rip off
Yea my previous car had the same problem unlike BMW Toyota diesels have headgasket issues and the affected 2.2 d4d literally every single car will have a headgasket failure. If it isn't head failure its carbon problem which also kills engine
Going back to bmw really poor from them
