Does anyone have an idea what this area indicates in Eco Pro Mode? The lines keep increasing the more I drive.

I believe the bars symbolize the range gained in stages. As you gain more range, those blue bars increase.

My first post in here. The bars do change a little but I think its ridiculous that the most prime center section seems totally undefined or even explained in the manual, or anywhere else for that matter.
We just bought our first BMW last week and trying to figure this out too, along with a few other odd things.
On a related note, we almost bought an A5 instead and loved that panel, but I believe the 6wb has potential for future ota updates to make far better use of the center section of the panel, which is usually just a blank waste of space. Just hope they dont use it to flash ads at us!

Hoping for OTA upgrades for 6WB on the F3X is being over optimistic at this point as BMW has switched to and is focused on iDrive 7. The centre portion of the display will remain blank unless you choose to have navigation there instead of the HUD (if applicable) but even then, it's just to tell you directions but not in map view.

Then maybe some sort of aftermarket update? Does it have to be BMW that does the coding?
If the screen has decent resolution I see no reason why you couldnt program it to display almost any data the idrive system monitors, and in almost any form.

BMW does not release any feature updates, only fixes and compatibility updates for devices such as phones. You won't get any fancy new features unless you buy a newer generation car ;-)

Thanks for the advice.
Back to the OP any other ideas for what those bars are?
Bingo suggests something about range gained in stages?

[Skyhigh]

Can't find it now, but from memory - 1 bar is 1KM range extension, 2bars is 10km, etc.

Quite silly indeed. That beautiful display basically wasted. Unused space.

I use Eco Pro for part of my homeward commute, and yesterday accessed the EcoPro Driving Dynamics screen, or whatever it's called. It displayed on my iDrive, however, and the blue pathway looked more like a roller coaster that has been warped by an earthquake. I had no idea it represented a range.

Hi,

I know that thread is a bit old, but if someone are interested on, can try with:

ECO_RW_GRAPHIK_ENABLE in KOMBI

In my case this option was inactive.

Best regards
