Aren't the gauges for M models configurable in two ways. One for the traditional view that all bimmers get and the second being the two verticle tachometers. I thought all M cars get the double tach, is it just the M8?

I've driven a few BMWs as rentals with the new Idrive 7 and it's basically useless while driving. To much clutter in the instrument panel to get any useful information while driving in traffic. It's a great system if you're parked!

For everyone saying how bad this display is I have a question. Do most opt for HUD as well? If so, how frequently do you actually look at the actual "gauge" cluster? I have had HUD since 2012 and the only time I look to the cluster for anything is fuel or messages. Do you all not utilize the HUD as much? Don't opt for it? The new display is cleaner, crisper and I feel a huge upgrade over the largely dated old cluster. My opinion obviously. Definitely a lot easier to keep clean!

After startup, adaptive mode (comfort is the same) w/ MPG display on right. I also have the middle map disabled via menu setting (I hate the clutter). The map still shows up in the hud for turn by turn nav. Sport Plus Eco Pro Different stuff on right (selectable with the B/C button)

For technology at least, maybe not recently, but iDrive in general is one of the best infotainment systems available and BMW has introduced a bunch of features that other cars now use not just infotainment as well, although like I said, not recently, but when it comes to tech, yes.

A 2009 Toyota had a better NAV System than the 2009ish CIC or 2013ish NBT. BMW only beat the 2009 Toyota with the NBT EVO in 2015-2016. And let's not forget it took BMW until the 2nd half of 2017 get a 6WB (optional) for the F30 series and never for the F80s. About half a Decade after other brands. BMW a Pioneer....lol....that's the best joke this week. |

But I'm one of those people who despised gen-one and while people still hated when BMW releases CIC, I loved it and never found it hard to use. BMW is a leader in infotainment and I don't think many, if any, systems come close. MBUX was a much needed upgrade but it's more flash than functionality. |

That backwards tach and and speedometer is awful. Why wouldn't they just rotate each 90 degrees so the increase happens left to right (like every other car in history) instead in a semicircle? Especially for an M model where the tach should be more prominent and important.
