M specific key and map in clocks

[tyzer]

I have my 7 on order and have been eager to find out as much as I can about the car before it arrives and so there are a few items with hardly any confirmed information.

1. The brochure mention a "M Specific key" for the M - Sport

2. I have seen the navigation map displayed inside the rev counter but no videos online

3. M Braking system (blue calipers and maybe bigger discs), no real pictures available

If anyone has an m-sport, especially in the uk, can anyone confirm or show?

thanks Tye

M Specific key refers to the additional side M color stripes similar to the one in the attached picture. Please note the key in the attached picture is not for the 7 series. The 7 series key fob has chrome buttons and the last button is to trigger the panic alarm.

At least in the US, the M Sport does not get blue calipers. You cannot display the map inside the tachometer. You may be confusing it with the Audi.

Option 2NH (M Sportbrake) will look like this:

But it is not part of M Package, you need to order it separately. In M Package you would get regular calipers with white 'BMW' signs on them

[oshevtsov]

You can have small map displayed in KOMBI. But if you have HUD, the small map is either on HUD, or on KOMBI (same with entertainment list)

yeah I have ordered the 2NH but there don't seem to be any real world pictures of a 7 with it

But does anyone have a pic of this running in their car?

Here you can see something... From 21:22 to 21:33 you see nav directions in place of tacho, and then it changes back to tacho.

Ability to display small map in "KOMBI?" is nice. I have HUD and I do see the small map there. However, I don't think I can choose between HUD or KOMBI or I just don't know how. If you do please let me know how.

I am in the US and hope this is not a country specific feature.

Thanks.

If you have HUD, can you try to disable navigation instructions on HUD (using iDrive, you need to find the menu with HUD settings) ? Then small map should appear on KOMBI (at least this is how it worked on my F16).

I will be able to try on my own G11 in around 10 days only

Yes, that's how it works.

I disabled the navigation display in HUB and some navigational information does appear in the instrument cluster. However, the information is very limited and nowhere near what was showed in the nice picture above. I guess I will keep it in the HUB for now.

1. Real picture of my key. G11 750d, M Sport Package.

3. And close-up of M Sport Brakes. Look impressive, more "substantial" then I expected

They look fab, so glad I optioned them now. Do you have your car now or is it still at the dealers? Have you tried the Nav inside the Rev counter yet?

Thanks for sharing the pics, I hope to have my in the next 10 days

I saw the car at my dealer, but have not driven yet - they have just started PDI and installation of some accessories (M pedal covers and DVB-T2 tuner). Will pick it up on Monday.

And yes, I will certainly check NAV displays on HUD and KOMBI and let you know

Are you going for a different option for your tv (maybe your'e not in europe?) What is it that you're going for?
