navigate to the unlock menu and enter your code then long press to select
then navigate to the temperature menu

so if you want an actual temp, it's there (but in deg C)

but you can just warm up the car and look at the normal temp gauge needle and make a mental note or the position

an AMG like menu would be nice (with the temp changing colors for cold, warm, hot

you can buy a p3 gauge if you don't want to bother with the hidden ODO menu


see my thread in the iDrive forum I have more info there re: all data the hidden menu makes available to you.
Once you access this menu, do you have to go through the same procedure every time to access it? Or does it stay up?
Must go through same procedure to enable menu after every time the car is shut down and turned back over.

Here is a readout of the menus:
