I have a '97 740iL. I just can't believe that regardless of what the outside temperature is, that the temp needle on the temp guage never will budge over the mid point. I have let this engine idle in Tucson, Arizona at 112 degrees for over 30 minutes and the needle never quivers. My past cars have been six cylinder 7 cars with atrocious radiator and heat problems. I think BMW has electrically locked the temp guage at the mid point.
What are your comments?
Thanks,

You guessed it.
The temperature gauge is programmed to says at the mid point from 75-113 degree C.
