What’s your cluster and screen setup…

With all the options available, wondering how everyone likes to have their instrument cluster and touchscreen setup.

There are so many options available, to your point, that I don't think we can get the majority of the settings listed for you.

A couple of points in mine. I disabled the map on in the middle of my cluster - just too busy for my liking. (Wish there was something else of value that could be in the middle - but I'm OK with the simplicity without anything.) I have the tach on the right. All my radio/Sirius presets are controlled through the thumbwheel and show up in my HUD. I do not use my 1-8 buttons for stations, just a few key phone numbers and menu shortcuts.

I hate ASS, but do not have coding, so go to Sport Mode almost exclusively due to this. However, I do like the gauge look of comfort equally along with the Sport look. I have never used ECO in any BMW and couldn't tell you anything about that. I also never use NAV, so no help there either.

Is this kind of what you were looking for??

know that each variant layout differs slightly, such as the electric gauge and eDrive logo for the 45e. you can code to change but not all options actually work.

mine is a fully optioned MY21 45e. I personally have the Assisted Driving view in the middle of the instrument cluster as I appreciate the lane departure and additional blind spot warnings. i didn't code a different instrument cluster layout as I find the defaults have the info and look I need for whatever drive mode I'm in. I have the media info on the right side of the cluster. during my daily commute, I have the Home Screen on my central control display: mini map on the left, traffic status on the upper right, media info on the lower right (for passengers).

You probably already know, this, but just in case…. There are two more pages available in the CCD if you swipe left. So you can add 6 more widgets if you want to.

I really wish they would give us an Energy Flow widget as well. What's on your third page?

Yes, but that takes a full screen.
