Stopped by the dealer to see if my 2013 analog cluster should be upgraded to the 2014 7 Series digital cluster.
OMG!
I think not! Yes, the digital speedo and tach are amazingly cool. And I bet at night, they are sweet.
But, the gas gauge and temp gauges are frauds. They should have left them the old way. I swear, the gas and temp gauge are cheeeeeeessssseeeyyy! They are not even digital. They are analog. They are a physical round disk with a white pointer painted on it. It is so two dimensional. The old gas gauge was a three dimensional needle. You can actually see the round disks move. And, when you shut off the car, they still look cheesey.
The have a hole in the gauge area where there is a round disk with a two dimensional needle painted on it.
It reminds me of something of those fake props you might find from Star Trek the original series.
I love the cluster, but its hard not to be distracted by the goofy gas and temp gauges.
