I must be in minority here but the digital dash is something that has like 3 years life span. After that new better screens will come out, new configs, etc. I really wouldnt care if a car had a normal analogue gauge, some car companies like Audi made a damn good effort on those and even BMW was keeping up though not as much. Crisp fonts, nice dancing needles. Look at the early digital gauges on the F1x 5 series. They are abysmal. Low res too. And the designs - they have some edgy 2020 design, but in 2 years something new comes along and this Aventador style is out. Oops. Your car looks old, upgrade.
I feel that many want a digital dash like the Audi virtual cockpit on BMW for bragging rights. In reality, I rarely ever look at the gauges because I have HUD. To me all the key info should go on HUD, and rest can be on some centre screen, Model 3 style. Thats the way to go, not this complicated dash with lots of lights on it that you just wanna switch off after a while. This opinion is after driving Audi with its virtual cockpit.
As for X4 - a pointless pointless car. Its like a car you buy for your 27 year old daughter.
