Tachometer
Never force the engine speed up into the red 
warning field, see arrow. In this range, the fuel 
supply is interrupted to protect the engine.
Engine oil temperature
When the engine is at normal operating temper-
ature, the engine oil temperature is between 
approx. 2107/100 6 and approx. 300 7/
150 6.
If the engine oil temp erature is too high, a 
message appears on the Control Display.
Fuel gauge
Fuel tank capacity: approx. 14 US gal/53 liters.
You can find information on refueling on 
page 221.
If the tilt of the vehicle varies for a longer period, 
when you are driving in mountainous areas, for 
example, the indicator may fluctuate slightly.
Fuel display 135i: in speedometer.
Reserve
Once the fuel level ha s fallen to the reserve 
zone, a message briefly  appears on the Control 
Display and the remaining  cruising range is dis-
played on the computer. Under a cruising range 
of approx. 30 miles/50 km, the message 
remains in the Control Display.
With a dynamic driving style, e.g. rapid corner-
ing, engine functions are not always assured.
Refuel as soon as possible once your 
cruising range falls below 30 miles/
50 km; otherwise, engine functions are not 
ensured and damage can occur. <
