Hi guys !
I just came home and after turning the engine off in my m20 525i I got the aforementioned message. I don't think that the reason for it is the hot weather today (round 80 and full sun) plus my temp gauge didn't fluctuate at all, so the engine didn't overheat !!! I just recently (200 miles) had my oil and filter changed at BMW dealership for synthetic Castrol 5w30 (BMW recomended).
I will let the car cool down and see if the message still shows up. If so I will have to get it fixed. How much is the sensor and how much work is it to fix it. Bentley says that in m20 it is below the right engine mount, but I couldn't see it.
I was wondering if there is anybody in NE Ohio (cleveland/Akron) who could help me with this and possible future fixes to my Bimmer.
Thanks for your help,
Dan
