Personal Profile
The concept
You can set a number of functions of your BMW 
individually according to your preferences. Per-
sonal Profile ensures that most of these set-
tings are stored for the remote control currently 
in use without you having to do anything. When 
the vehicle is unlocked, the corresponding 
remote control is detected and the settings 
stored for it are called up and carried out.
This means that you will always find your BMW 
set to your own personal settings even if 
another person with his/her own remote control 
and settings has used the vehicle since the last 
time you drove it. The individual settings are 
stored for a maximum of four remote controls, 
for two with comfort access
*.

Tachometer
The advance warning field, arrow1, and the red 
warning field, arrow2, change depending on 
the engine temperature. As the engine temper-
ature rises, the permissible engine speed also 
increases. Avoid allowing the engine speed to 
rise as far as the orange warning field whenever 
possible.
Be sure to avoid engine speeds in the red warn-
ing field. At high revs in this range, the flow of 
fuel is interrupted to protect the engine.
Coolant temperature
Should the coolant, and with it the engine 
become too hot, a warning lamp lights up. In 
addition, a message appears on the Control 
Display.
Checking coolant level, refer to page215.
