The 335 should have not only come with a boost gauge, but also a water temp gauge.
I am so used to looking at the water temps gauge as a reference to when the car is hot enough to ge on it.But also an indication if the car is maybe getting to hot before overheating happens.
Maybe its just me but i dont like using just warning lights.
The factory cluster is nice and simple, but having boost and water temp would have been nicer. Even digital on the computer would have been nice.

To me the oil temp is much more useful for deciding when to feel comfortable redlining your car. e46 M3's come with water temp, oil temp and the lights around the tach and pretty much all of us ignored the lights and water temp and waited for the oil temp to get up before pushing the car. And in fact the water temp gets all the way to running temp before the oil temp even starts to move since it takes about 2 minutes for the water to heat up but close to 10 minutes for the oil to get to 200-210.
