Accent trim is carbon fiber, M - car logos decorate the door sills, instruments are specific «M style» and the tachometer warning zone rotates upward to the maximum 8300 rpm
as engine oil temperature increases.
The Police Interceptor is equipped with an external oil - to - engine - coolant oil cooler to
reduce engine oil temperatures, allowing the vehicles to operate at high rpm / high loads for an extended period of time without the risk of engine oil overheating and subsequent engine damage.
The speedometer and rev counter naturally come with red needles in the typical style of BMW M. Another highlight of the M models is the variable engine speed pre-warning field in the rev counter, the yellow pre-warning and red warning field limiting the engine speed allowed in each case as a function of
current engine oil temperature.
In between sits a wide TFT display that provides information
like engine oil temperature, navigation, cornering G - forces, and lap times, but also serves as the home for the driver settings menu and onboard diagnostics system.
The associated information display between the gauges is easy to navigate, and I like just how much it's capable of displaying,
from engine oil temperature to individual tire pressures to one of the best looking fuel economy gauges in the industry.
The concern completely disappears after driving and
the engine oil temperature (EOT) is greater than 150 ° F (66 ° C).
Other convenient information features include an innovative multi-function meter that allows the driver to customize the layout of important vehicle - specific performance parameters / information, such as coolant temperature,
engine oil temperature, engine oil pressure, transmission oil temperature, transmission oil pressure and turbocharger boost pressure.
Also new on board as standard are auxiliary instruments (charge pressure, chronometer,
engine oil temperature) which pay tribute to the original Scirocco.
Additionally, the three auxiliary instruments integrated above the centre console are included as a standard: charge pressure, chronometer and
engine oil temperature.
Look just above the center console and you'll see three auxiliary instruments that are now standard, each providing information on the car's boost pressure, chronometer and
engine oil temperature.
It provides basic info such as speed,
engine oil temperature, and driving directions, but throws in the shift indicator lights too.
It's also configurable to view parameters such as
the engine oil temperature, the transmission oil temperature, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, engine output, torque levels, boost pressure, tire temperatures, tire pressure, and other info, plus the current vehicle system settings (and yeah, there's a lot of them).
Other convenient information features include the popular multi-function meter that allows the driver to customize the layout of important vehicle - specific performance parameters / information (including coolant temperature,
engine oil temperature, engine oil pressure, transmission oil temperature, transmission oil pressure, turbocharger boost pressure, etc.).
