Horrible Main Gauge Cluster
The 1 thing I really dislike about my new G29 is the graphic that they picked for the main display. I get that BMW use the same style graphic in the new 3 and 8 series cars - but I hate it. The reverse sweeping Tach is silly and the really small font they picked for the MPH indication is just dumb. Anyone aware of software that we can use to change this display to something else?
The new cluster in the new X3M is so much better.... |

Yep, this is a big criticism of every modern BMW. They could have at least offered different configurations for the display and the way its designed, similar to well... pretty much every manufacturer right now.
Hopefully this can be something updated through software, as I'd love a display that mimics an analogue gauge cluster.

The X3M tachometer doesn't have a yellow/red line on the gauge?

I think its because the car's engine isn't running, then the redline would show up in the gauges as it adjusts as the engine warms

Yeah, I forgot that this is (I think) a fully electronic display.

Please do
I want round dials. Hate those weird shapes moving in opposite directions. What the hell was BMW thinking? Video game?
