Didn't Jaguar do that years ago? If the oil pressure was too low the
guage would go to mid-range just to calm the driver.

Hi Folks,

A buddy at work has a new BMW Mini.  He tells me the oil pressure gauge
has only 2 positions for the needle - zero and some fake oil pressure.
The gauge therefore only functions as a light switch - on or off.
Presumably, this is to prevent owners fretting about variations in oil
pressure.
Pretty pathetic, if you ask me.

Like the old fellow says, why pay top dollar for the retro look why you
can have the real thing?
