I totally agree, that the lack of water and oil temperature guages is frustrating and disappointing.
What I did (and sometimes do) is I checked at different time the coolant and oil temperature through the BMW hidden menu. Then, I noted how long and under what driving conditions and outside temperature it takes for the engine to reach optimum operating temperatures. So, now I roughly know how long I have to wait (usually I wait a bit longer to be on the safe side), before I can floor the gas pedal!! Last weekend I took a 300 kilometer trip and all the way I had activated the hidden menu to check the temepratures...it was interesting.
