Good afternoon
I don't know if it's just me but I find my temperature gauge seems to under read or take a while to adjusting from cold temperatures. I got in my car at lunchtime today to move it from blocking somebody in my works car park and it was reading +1.5C. I know it's cold but it wasn't that cold. When I left work it had picked up to about 6C which seems slightly closer to the actual temperature (but still a bit out by a few degrees).
I had an issue with this before in October when it was fairly mild and the temperature was under reading by about 10 degrees. (T Shirt weather in the afternoon and reading 8C). I took it into BMW and they replaced the temperature sensor. I'd say it's only been six weeks since then and I'm not doing a lot of driving (30 miles a week maybe even less at the moment).
Are BMW temperature gauges always a bit slow to acclimatise to the outdoor temperature? I don't really want to ask the dealership to look at it again but next time it's in for servicing I might mention it. Just trying to see if anyone else experiences this occasionally.
