Convert fuel economy gauge to oil temp on BMW E90

Yes, fuel economy is important to know and track but its in the gauge cluster, both average and instantaneous. If you don't have it, it can be easily programmed. A dial fuel economy is very annoying; but oil temperature is very useful. Especially if you take short trips in the cold you will realize you won't necessarily reach 100C which is necessary to burn off water vapor. Or if you drive on hot days or track the car, make sure you are not running the oil temperature above what the oil is rated for. You should aim to run the oil temp from 110C to 125C and never exceed 150C with a synthetic
1. You must have BMW EDIABAS 7.3.0 installed and have a K+DKAN Cable. You can find cables on eBay, amazon and Bimmergeeks. The Bimmergeeks cable is the best especially if you do programming. There are various sites with the BMW tools software.
2. Download Perfekt Toolbox

In the video I will show you how to use Perfekt Toolbox.
