    Running cold...

    i have a 1992 325ic with 95,000 miles on it. my coolant temperature gauge is always reading cold when I'm driving around. If i turn the engine on and let it sit the coolant temperature gauge will go up, but it will never reach the half or somthing. But, once i take it out for a spin, again the temperature gauge will show coolant is getting cold. When it's really cold outside and I'm driving around that darn coolant temp gauge hangs out near the blue. What gives? any ideas????????

    thermostat?

    Bad or missing thermostat.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      yup the thermostat is either missing or broken, my car did the same thing(car runs way better when it can actually warm up)
