Driving in the extreme cold weather (Toronto Canada)
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Are there any cons to driving the 2018 540i Xdrive in this temperature? I have winter tires so I'm not worried about that, just worried about keeping the engine/battery good. My car's also parked in my garage every night, not outside. |

The car should be OK. Winter is tough on cars but modern cars do fine overall especially garage kept cars like yours. Keep a close eye on tire pressures as it drops in cold winter weather.

I guess the other raving is just drive gently until the engine warms up ( which presumably may take a little longer)
Mechanical sympathy If you want to know the oil temperature as well as the coolant temp you can access that via the hidden menu With engine running hold down the reset button on the cluster after about 15 second or so you get som option , by pressing the button repeatedly you can cycle to unlock Code to unlock is adding up the last 5 numbers of your VIN Once unlocked one of the options will be temperature where you can display both coolant and oil temps |
