Yes, that is one BIG clanger from BMW. No water temp guage ! Oil level doesn't bother me so much, there is an indicator to warn, but no actual reading.
What I would really like is the possibilty to display the water & oil temp directly on the iDrive screen - like the Skyline GTR did. You select what you want displayed and it draws a couple of analogue guages. The values MUST be monitored anyway for the engine mapping so it must be possible. And the temp does not vary that quickly so wouldn't need to be updated at a high frequency.
Just mocked up something quickly in PS to show what I mean below :
