The orange warning zone between arrows 

1 

and 

2 shows the currently permissible engine 

speed, which depends on engine temperature. 
As engine temperature increases, some of the 
LEDs in this warning zone go out one after 
another.
As much as possible, avoid driving at engine 
speeds within the illuminated warning zone.
Never force the engine speed up into the red 
warning zone beginning at arrow 

2. To protect 

the engine, the fuel supply is interrupted when 
speed reaches this sector.

In contrast to the descriptions in the Owner's 
Manual for the BMW Z4, the reserve level for 
the BMW Z4 M Roadster/Z4 M Coupe is approx. 
2.6 US gallons/10 liters.

In contrast to the descriptions in the Owner's 
Manual for the BMW Z4, your BMW Z4 M Road-
ster/Z4 M Coupe is not equipped with a coolant 
thermometer.
Should the coolant and thus the engine become 
too hot, a warning lamp will come on in the 
instrument cluster.

The engine is overheated. Reduce your 
speed immediately and pull over at a 
suitable location. Switch off the engine 

and allow it to cool down. Contact your nearest 
BMW Center or a workshop that works accord-
ing to BMW repair procedures with correspond-
ingly trained personnel.

Do not open the hood, otherwise there is 
a risk of injury from scalding.

The engine is too warm. Continue driv-
ing, but in a moderate manner, so that 
the engine can cool down.

If the warning lamp comes on again, have the 
engine checked without delay.

The general operating temperature lies 
between 175

7/806 and 2507/1206. Do 

not exceed the maximum temperature of 
300

If the engine oil temperature is too high, the per-
missible engine speed, and thus the available 
engine output, is reduced.

Regardless of your service requirements, 
have the breaking-in inspection per-
