Everything under control

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
temperature gauge.
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 175

7/806 and 2507/1206. Do

not exceed the maximum temperature of
300

7/1506.

Service interval display

Regardless of your service requirements,
have the breaking-in inspection per-

formed by your BMW center after driving
1,200 miles/2,000 km.
