I want a gauge that lets me know how many polar bears I'm making swim for dry land. That would be awesome.

Cheers

my e90 330i had an "instantaneous mpg" needle in place of where we have the oil temperature needle....pretty cool, but i'd rather know my oil temp!

Instantaneous MPG available right here:

Not sure if it works when driving, never tried. Oh yeah, and you have to do the math to convert from l/100km.

BTW, I've often wondered if one of those mystery menu options tells you which version of PROGMAN you have. I bet it does, if you knew how to interpret the data.
