What temperature does your car run at?
Have a 2012 X6 50i and the temp is running at about 220 (250 is the mid point). Is this normal? Also seems to take forever to get there....

Maybe - but seeing as they sell about 10X more X5s than X6s and they are basically the same car, I figured I would try here first.

Unfortunately the X5 doesn't have a temp gauge, for some damn reason... Guess they don't expect people to push them to the point where they would need to worry about temp... BMW in their Ultimate Stupidity... I Would rather see a temp gauge than a MPG gauge.

Either way, my next mistake was referring to it as a temp gauge when in fact it is an OIL temp gauge. Weird. Anyway, thanks for the input..I'll slink away back to the X6 board now...

Actually, I'm in a 528 loaner and it has an oil temp gauge as well.
