i4 owners: Gauge cluster options?

NightWriter · 12-16-2021, 09:24 AM

One of the things I'm curious about is the gauge cluster on the iDrive 8 dash, since I believe there are several options, but I only ever see the split-hexagon view that I'm not a big fan of (shown below). I'm hoping there are some more traditional-looking gauges (harking back to classic BMW analog orange!).

Could any new owners post some photos showing the options? Much appreciated!

I hear ya on that one. I have not seen many options on that section of the screen. I've seen about 3-5 different variations, but that shape stays pretty consistent. Being that it is just a screen, it seems like a nice place to allow for some major customizations for users. I know that takes a bunch of design work and costs, but it would be a sweet benefit to those who'd prefer a different look. I'm looking forward to seeing if there are any other variations available.
