BMW's better display thankfully forgoes the ugly plastic-on-lcd look of the first-gen active cluster.

I prefer the look of the rings. But they does make it very difficult to wipe the screen, in the corners, without smearing.

Mine is a June build, and still has the rings.
Would have preferred the cleaner look. |

But the ringless display in the 2019 G30 is not any different to the ring'ed display of the full LCD that was optional in 2018, other than the fact that its ringless.

Call me cynical, but the fact they have removed the rings at the same time that the world is seeing the fancy new 8 series cluster makes me think BMW are trying to make buyers think that they have updated the G30 cluster when in fact they just took the rings off. |

This is the euro spec digital dash. I don't understand why we didn't get it here as of MY2017.

maybe I am bias, but I actually like the rings and the true 3-D effect they give, plus I only look at the dash when the car is active

Really difficult to satisfy humans. I clearly remember the moaning about the ring when G30 first came out when people were comparing to Audi digital display without ring. Now some want it retained.

Who cares? Rings or no rings you still don't get a full cockpit display in front of you.

Looks like the MY19 M5 Competition still has the rings around the gauges.
