So the German engineers take out the temperature gauge because of the fluctuation and give us the fuel mileage gauge that doesn't have fluctuations ?
LOL....ok if it makes sense to you...

I have the N52 in my '06 325i and the N52 in my '08 Z4. The Z4 has a coolant temperature gauge. It doesn't fluctuate.
IMO the coolant temp gauge in the E90 was ditched for real estate reasons. The E90 gauge cluster is small so as to allow room for the Idrive screen.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
