The digital speedometer registers faster in my head than the old-style dial. Maybe because it is more precise and does not require interpolation. As for the tach, sure it is nice to see it even with an automatic, but even when I had a manual transmission (a MGB, an Alfa and (gasp) a Toyota Celica), shift points were by feel and sound. Eyes were on road.
Having said that, anything is possible with the digital screens so why couldn't BMW offer an option to show "analog" gauges for those who want them? Make it a paid option though so those of us who don't care don't have to subsidize those who do care.
