Question

Hi guys. I don't know if their always white and I did not notice it myself, but when testing the car yesterday, the sales rep told me that some "ticks" move around the tachy to indicate engine temperature. Litteraly, he said the "redline" moves downward when the engine is cold and moves towards the 7000 when heating up. Like I said, I haven't witness it myself. What I am wondering now is if this is true, does the actual engine redline change or is it only the marker without any effect on the rpm limiter. I assume the later is the right answer, but maybe someone can verify this. However, I guess you would need to get the car cold enough which might be hard this time of year.

Regards
Benoit

PS: Maybe will order my E90 tomorrow or really soon (SP,NAV?, Terra, Artic). Still love my E46 xi though
