I don't want a message on my dash when I'm in Turns 18-20 of my favorite road course on a track day. I want a gauge so I know when trouble is coming -- not when it's already happened.

Similarly, I don't want a message on my dash to tell me that my engine is overheating because the cooling fan just failed on my 2 Series. I want a gauge to be able to monitor when a problem might be coming -- not when it's already here.

And finally, no dash message is going to tell me that my car actually runs cooler in sportier driving modes -- a handy fact to know if, like me, you drive in temperatures well over 100 degrees.

Shall I go on?

Sorry. We'll agree to disagree here.
