Convert fuel economy gauge to oil temp on BMW E90

[@VeselinGeorgiev-v6u]

Hi guys, there is actually a easier way to do this and it's even for anyone driving a BMW E-series, it's a new beta feature in Carista! I’ve been using it for a bit, and it turns the fuel consumption gauge into a real-time temperature monitor. You can even customize the temperature range that shows up, which is super handy. What I love is that you don’t lose the fuel consumption display either - you can just move it to the center screen by pressing the BC button, so you still have both pieces of info right there. Honestly, it’s been a game-changer for me. Definitely worth checking out!

[@danac7654]

Can you post a video of that?

[@daviddorado5632]

really? on a diesel too?

[@VeselinGeorgiev-v6u]

@@daviddorado5632 yes it works, sorry but I can't post photos or videos here. But toy can try it out with Carista!

[@cleanname4439]

this is the same thing and it doesn’t cost money

[@daviddorado5632]

I emailed Carista and checked about this. They said they DONT support this feature for BMW diesel engines

Does not work ok N47, E90 320D. Needle does not rize.

hi, the link is broken, can you tell me how to download it some other way? thanks

[@amadiurs]

It works perfectly! Thankss man good new function!!!!!!! Pd: Ive got a 320i E92 N43

[@czr4140]

Works like a charm with 330d M57. Only minor issue is that gauge doesn't point exactly to zero on ignition start.

[@HeavyModded]

you can change that with this

[@HeavyModded]

@@czr4140 what year is your car btw ?

[@LighthouseBaptistChurchAlmere]

Are you sure it the oil temp and not the water temp?

[@E90335d]

Did you figure it out? I’ve set the offset to 0 on mine and that way it works perfect

[@czr4140]

[@damienbms]

Hello, Installation ok on 330D E90 2008, but needle shifted from zero, which has correct settings please

[@michaelsofos]

So can i just download the perfekt toolbox or do i have to have the bmqw software too? you didnt use it in the video so im curious to understand why i need that too

[@gamingfever69612]

Works on 330d e90. The only issue is that temperature raises to 60-70 sometimes 80 degrees and then after regular driving temp drops to 50 degrees...i don't think is indicating properly.

[@sajidhasan34]

Why would they ever put the l/100km Guage...it's super annoying bouncing all around

Hi are you able to convert it to water temp so you can see if the car is having overheat

[@angeloharmse9787]

That would be great

[@ignaciorodriguez5001]

Any idea if this can be done using bimmer code on a n47 engine? At least deactive that very annoying econometer

[@LighthouseBaptistChurchAlmere]

Does this also work with the 335d. When I go to the hidden menu all I see is the water temp.

[@Jean-Paul_1984]

Thanks! Great video. Does this work for E60 as well?

what if i want 90 to be dispayed instead of 100 at the middle ,do i need to change the motor steps too?

Hello, your conversion instruction is great. I installed the Perfect Toolbox, everything works, I did the conversion, the test-drive works, the indicator shows the set value. The problem is, it doesn't show the oil temperature. Is it possible that my engine does not have an oil temperature sensor? e91 2006 2.0 Diesel M47N2

[@Mare66499]

same problem. oil temperature sensor appears to overwrite the data from the coolant temperature sensor. through diagnostics these two data are identical. After setting as in the video, the oil temperature is kept to a minimum

[@ebargvaynahskij1090]

Did you find any solution yet?

[@DedaMrasz]

Hi, good video thank you. I have tried to do on my e90 330i and have issue with values on gauge. When I set temperature to 100 I see 7 on gauge. When I set temperature to 120 I see 10 on gauge. Strange.

[@yvestouze4919]

Have you tried to set the range from 70°C to 170°C with 120 in the middle ? It seems to be the right value for the 330i as you can see on a E92 330i cluster.
