Does everyones temp gauge stay bang in the middle,mine has started to move a little either way,cooler if cruising,a little hotter if pushing on.Its not in the hot or cold zone,just either side of centre.I wonder if the thermostat is sticking,or am i just being

You're just being

My indicator rarely moves.

It goes up a little when doing track days during hot weather.

It goes down a little when driving on the motorway for extended periods (more pronounced during cool weather or at night).

Now stop worrying and drive it!

I never notice mine being anything other than slap bang in the middle! It's probably been fooked since I bought it!

Mine moves a little either side of the middle but that's just the thermostat opening and closing.

I only ask because my stock E46 M3 gauge was always bang in the middle.
