Nope. Not that I'm aware of. A glaring omission on a car of that caliber.
I don't think there is a coolant temperature gauge either.
I saw someone mention some kind of "secret" menu that you can access via coding but I am confident that there aren't any "standard" temperature gauges whatsoever (neither analog nor digital).
Baffling. My F30 M Sport 335i had an oil temperature gauge. My C63 has a dedicated screen where I can view all of the pertinent fluid temperature information. The oil temperature readout/font remains blue (warm-up mode) until the oil reaches operating temperature (176 degrees Fahrenheit). Once it hits 176 degrees, the font turns from blue to white (hammer down mode).
If you're going to track the M235i, you will need to know the fluid temperatures out there. Hell, even on the street you need the gauges to know that the engine and fluids have reached operating temperature.
