You have a 328 so you don't need to worry about the super high oil temps like 335i drivers, no boost gauge. So you want to monitor water temp and voltage?

Actually, depending on the year of his 328i, he could have an oil temperature gauge, mine has one. With respect to your comment about oil temperature, this is not necessarily true; during my last two track days with 90 degree ambient temperature my oil temperature approached 300 degrees during the latter part of each session. I was also monitoring my coolant temperature with a Bluetooth ap using my cell phone as a analog temperature gauge, and my coolant temperature never exceeded 220 degrees and mostly it stayed between 216 and 218 degrees. I had the cell phone in a cradle mounted on the left center AC vent.
