Dimming Instrument Cluster
Greetings;
2019 X3 M40i... Love it. Question: has anyone discovered a way to complete dim the instrument cluster at night, using the standard dimmer wheel? Perhaps through a dealer update or aftermarket coding? I'd like to be able to drive country roads at night with the dash lights off and just the HUD showing speed on the windscreen. I used to have a car that could dim the instrument cluster completely. It's nice to drive at night with no interior lights. Much less visually distracting. Thanks in advance! |

Never seen an option to turn off the instrument cluster. You can turn off the tablet screen. For the cluster, I know you can dim the brightness and there is a setting available to show a simple/reduced instrument cluster in the options in main menu.

My dad's old Saab had this feature. You could turn off the instrument panel completely at night - and only the speedometer would be lit. He used that feature all the time.

I had this on my 2001 Saab 9-3 convertible. Realy nice at night on the highway and together with the great BMW HUD in the X3 this would be a nice feature.
