running cold

I am a "new" owner and a new poster. I recently purchased a 94' 325i with 108k miles. I am very pleased with the car. The car is in excellent condition and it drives like a dream. The only "problem" that I have noticed is that the car runs cold. The engine tempurature gauge hardly ever moves out of the cold range, even when the car has been running for a half hour or so. Is this normal for BMW's? Thanks in advance.:)

No it's not normal. Eeither the sensor is bad or the batteries on the SI board insdie the instrument panel have to be changed.

Check the thermostat as well. If stuck in the fully open position your engine might not be warming up well enough. If run to cold they wear out faster :)
