One thing i am grateful about is that my 4.6is has a oil temp gauge instead of the wobbly needle. I like the red line lights on the is as well.

It must take its feed from somewhere, maybe a vacuum transducer on the intake manifold, it maybe easy to disconnect it. I quite like it, i thought it was a novelty in the E30 325i I had years ago. I don't even notice it now.

Yup should be oil temp gauge.

So difficult to get any real use out of it.
