Instrument cluster LCD 3" or 8"?
I noticed on the US configuration, many of you guys have the 3" LCD display which is on the centre of your instrument cluster. Is that standard for all US Models?
I have the Canadian F30 328i with premium package which includes professional navigation and the 8.8" iDrive display. Is that why I have the longer instrument cluster LCD? |

Which display are you talking about?
The standard iDrive dash mounted 6.5 " monitor has a 800x400 pixel resolution display. The extended 8.8" monitor has a 1280x480 pixel resolution display. The bigger display comes with the Pro Nav (the only Nav available in the US) There is a separate LCD display in the instrument cluster (option 6WA) that is standard with Nav (and may come with some other configs). |

I was referring to the instrument cluster LCD. Ok, so if you have the smaller instrument cluster display, do you still see those Eco Pro/Sport gauges on the dash?

The bottom pic show how big the LCD is - runs from between dials to under tach but does not extend under speedo. Not sure what the std cluster shows in eco-pro. |

Is BMW holding out for future tech to display there? Or maybe ActiveH uses it? I'd rather the speedometer fill the area or give us a digital speed readout!

There is lots of info displayed inthe area extended into and underneath the tach area. In the bottom of the tach area is a virtual gauge that shows driving efficiency (graphic telling you how when your MPG is doing on a real time basis.
Below the tach area is additional indicators for when service is due, warnings, etc. |

I thought that the partial digital was upgraded as well to cover the entire width of the cluster but these images may reflect another model. So, I think there will be an upgrade, maybe first on the F32 coupes and then filtering to F30 with the LCI. |
