Tachometer
The orange warning zone between arrows 1
and 2 shows the currently permissible engine
speed, which depends on engine temperature.
As engine temperature increases, some of the
LEDs in this warning zone go out one after
another.
As much as possible, avoid driving at engine
speeds within the illuminated warning zone.
Never force the engine speed up into the red
warning zone beginning at arrow 2. To protect
the engine, the fuel supply is interrupted when
speed reaches this sector.
Fuel gauge
Reserve
In contrast to the descriptions in the Owner's
Manual for the BMW Z4, the reserve level for
the BMW Z4 M Roadster/Z4 M Coupe is approx.
2.6 US gallons/10 liters.
Coolant temperature
In contrast to the descriptions in the Owner's
Manual for the BMW Z4, your BMW Z4 M Road-
ster/Z4 M Coupe is not equipped with a coolant
thermometer.
Should the coolant and thus the engine become
too hot, a warning lamp will come on in the
instrument cluster.
Red warning lamp
The engine is overheated. Reduce your
speed immediately and pull over at a
suitable location. Switch off the engine
and allow it to cool down. Contact your nearest
BMW Center or a workshop that works accord-
ing to BMW repair procedures with correspond-
ingly trained personnel.
Do not open the hood, otherwise there is
a risk of injury from scalding.<
Yellow warning lamp
The engine is too warm. Continue driv-
ing, but in a moderate manner, so that
the engine can cool down.
If the warning lamp comes on again, have the
engine checked without delay.
Engine oil thermometer
The general operating temperature lies
between 1757/806 and 2507/1206. Do
not exceed the maximum temperature of
3007/1506.
If the engine oil temperature is too high, the per-
missible engine speed, and thus the available
engine output, is reduced.
Service interval display
