Econometer in the new virtual instrument cluster

Is there a possibility to show the classic econometer (instant MPG bar) on the new LCD instrument cluster? Thanks...

The econometer below the tachometer (the right instrument) that shows the instant fuel consumption either in MPG or l/100km (below the "P" for Park; above the "Ignition switched on" text on the below picture):



The virtual F10 display has it also:



However I don't see it anywhere on the new G11 or G30 instrument cluster:

if you press the button on the left hand stalk it rotates the screen and displays it (left hand stalk in uk, might be different in us)

it displays where the odometer is

Thanks, is it just a number or is it a raising bar too? Does anyone have a picture? I haven't seen it on any of the pictures flying around which is why I'm asking. I'm thinking about the new G30 5-series and I'm loading on info from G11 which is very similar in many ways.

Anyway, it's funny that purely virtual instruments are able to show less information at the same time than analog cluster (i.e. odometer or econometer but not both).

So you are not looking to code feature, you are just wondering if it displays from factory?

I just wanted to check if there's a way to show it. I was prepared to code it if it wasn't possible by default.

Alright. On the G30 menus I have seen, the displayed information is minimized to avoid distraction. Though, if you like clutter, you can enable.
