Also...the 6WB display is set up to maximize your opportunity to extend mileage. That is not my reason for buying a phev and I find it annoying that the only way to get a tach is to put it in sport mode. That is fine except I also have the dynamic dampers and in urban driving I like to drive in adaptive mode. My solution is to code the car to use the Alpina blue display. I lose some of my electricity information but I get a tach all the time. So if you have a 530e for mileage economy reasons, don't do what I do but if your reasons are like mine (the environment and the ability to drive in the car pool lane), then also do the Alpina adjustment.

Interesting that it doesn't show a tach on the 6WB. The 2019 530e I test-drove only had the 6WA cluster, and it showed what I assumed was the 530e's equivalent of a tach but with the numbers in % points, and had blue "boxes" showing how far I could press the accelerator before the ICE kicked on based on how much battery it had. I am about to order a 2020 530e so it will come with the Live Cockpit Pro with the reversed gauges, which I'm sure it will take some getting used to.
