So, I'm configuring my car and I stopped - whats your opinion about multifunction instrument display? I mean whats your opinion about it, I know, the osxcode thinks that it's fantastic, but I'm not sure. So whats your opinion about it - you liked it or not so much?
Thanks guys!

I agree with OSX here.Its really nice.A lot of information goes on it which is clear and easy to read.The two dimensional temp and gas gauges don't bother me as my expectations from those gauges have always been minimal.Not a deal breaker but is it not standard now on the 14's.I love the HUD better though.

Given the choice, I would probably take the new display in a heartbeat. |

I was so pissed because I was led to believe the major upgrades were in the LCI and nothing new would be coming out. I pleaded with senior management at BMW corporate. I was willing to pay for the upgrade, I just wanted it to be supported by my warranty. I begged and explained that I was a near 20 year BMW customer and that I was on my sixth 7 series! I explained that this was not fair because the digital cluster and iDrive touch were so materially different and that really means the LCI wasn't dispatched until 2014---not 2013 as BMW advertised. Well, in the end the CEO's office at BMW told me in so many words to take a hike. That's loyalty for ya! I shall remember it 8 months from now when my lease is up. It's time to consider a Benz. I believe I made a very good case and the CEO's office at BMW was unmoved. BMW doesn't realize that loyalty from customers like me are the reason for BMW's success. And, when you get a 20 year customer making a great case that he was dealt a bad deal, BMW should remedy the problem without batting an eyelash. Well, that didn't happen. There was no follow through. No follow up. All I get was a door slam. I hear that door slam every month when I sign BMW's check for my 750 and another check for my wife's x1. |

The multifunction display wasn't available in 2013 models because it wasn't approved for vehicles sold in North America because BMW didn't get the proper approvals.
And I assume that's why BMW refuses to install these displays in pre-2014 models. You can always purchase the unit aftermarket and have it installed, it's basically a 15 minute job. |
