Oil temp
For those who monitor it, where have you placed your sensor and why?

There's an adapter that's attached with a banjo bolt to the stock oil pressure switch on the oil filter cover and which provides two ports. With one plugged the other can be used for an oil temp sensor. I think they're 1/8" NPT ports. Bimmerworld makes one and I'm sure there are others, just haven't seen any.

Oil temp sensor? Haven't found it yet, probably not looking in the right place. Gave up and went with separate sensors.

If you get the performance wheel with the electronic readout, I almost positive you can get that to display the oil temp.

It will.. With coding. The performance wheel with LCD shows oil temp, that's how Stig knows his temps.

Oh! Very cool, thanks. Would have to find the information on the PT-CAN bus and use my logger's display to show it. No luck with that so far. Decided to use separate sensors for oil pressure, oil temp, and coolant temp instead to avoid having to sift through bulk CAN data collection.

Correct, as the oil expands as it warms up. My air cooled 911 is the most obvious example of this. When I start the car the oil level gauge is at empty. Once it has been run for 20 minutes it rises right to the middle where it belongs. The 128i is just idiot proofing that process.

No coding, the module that comes with the wheel picks up on it.

Bumping this thread with a question - for those who are able to monitor oil temps in the 128, what kind of temps are you seeing (summer, winter, etc)? Similar to the 135? A little cooler I would think...

Coding I believe, but some say plug and play. My car is a 328i and it has it factory because it's an e92, so you know it will work.
