Here is a quick video... It was difficult selecting the driving mode while holding the camera...

Best way to access the guages instantly is to program one of the hard number buttons on your center stack to those guages.

Thank you, very nice.. Hope it only is a software function and that it can be retro programmed :-)

Good news! Power and torque meters can be turned on by coding.
BTW, those of you, who have them by default - could you change kw to hp?

Oh nice! Do you have that confirmed? Is it just a rumor? So, all you need is ISTA/P and a friendly Service Advisor?

I messed around extensively with an F30 loaner and I could not find any menus that would allow you to change kw/nm to HP/TQ

I don't have that torque and power gauges (my F25 doesn't have the "M" package) however, there's the "Units" menu (in the last menu from the main screen, the "Setup" one) that I suspect could be of help also for those settings. I have all in Italian, so my translation could not exactly correspond to your menu items.

It was done with E-sys, changing the EFF_DYN_SPORT_CID parameter in the HU_CIC. I dont think it is possible with ISTA/P.

The sound in that video is nothing compared to the real thing!

I love how the car can be almost silent in EcoPro mode then a beast in Sport mode with the shifter in DS.

My favourite is Sport+ M2 at about 40km/h

It is too soon to count 'sleeps'.

Every time I receive an email on my phone, I hope it's my CA telling me:
"your car is here!!!"

It's ok, at least I know it's worth it!!!
