given the QC i've seen thus far on my F30...I'm glad I have analog dials and would prefer them.

HUD covers anything else I'd need electronic.

BUT it's pretty sick.

If the small LCD fails on current cars u still have the speedo & tach.
You really think you could not judge your speed during the time it takes you to drive straight to your dealer?

Can u tell the difference between 30mph & 35mph without any instrumentation? That's the difference between in the law & getting fines & points. It's no good telling the cop ur speedo has failed cos a car with failed speedo is not roadworthy.
Also, if the thing fails, can u guarantee than u can drive to the stealer straight away (e.g. u have a car full of ppl to an important meeting)? Or even if it's open at all?

If you really think you have a significant chance of not keeping your speed in check and think the police will actually come across your path on the way to the dealer, then you should call for a tow truck to take the car to the dealer. This would be free in the US, not sure about in HK.
