Dynamic Digital Cluster (6WB): should it change with driving mode?
My cluster stays the same through all modes, but I have seen a few video where if you have the digital cluster option, it should change with each mode. For example, sport plus should show a big MPH in the middle of the speedo and the Tach looks different as well. Eco Pro looks totally different.
These are not changing for me, but I think I checked some boxes in iDrive that forces it not to change? Am I making any sense? Sound familiar to anyone? The BMW manual used to be so much better with the older cars. It is so friggin generic one size fits all now. EDIT: I think I found something, I must have something checked or unchecked preventing this: Instrument cluster with enhanced features: setting the operating mode Concept Depending on the equipment, the instrument cluster can be set to three different operating modes in addition to the driving mode. Settings Via iDrive: 1. "My Vehicle" 2. "iDrive settings" 3. "Displays" 4. "Instrument panel" 5. Select the desired setting. ▷ "STANDARD": all displays on the instrument cluster are active. Displays Controls 121 Online Edition for Part no. 01402984863 - X/17 ▷ "REDUCED" all displays on the instrument cluster are reduced to the essential. ▷ "INDIVIDUAL": all displays on the instrument cluster are active. Individual displays can be individually selected. Configuring INDIVIDUAL ▷ "Driving mode display": when the driving mode is switched into ECO PRO or SPORT, the instrument cluster automatically switches into the respective view. ▷ "Speed limit exceeded": if the speed recognized by Speed Limit Info is exceeded, the exceeded range is marked red in the speedometer. ▷ Instrument cluster with enhanced features: "Magnifier function": the current speed is shown enlarged in the speedometer.

I would like the MPH to be shown in Comfort mode, the way it shows in Sports mode. I'm going to try this to see if it changes it. I took off my HUD as it bothers me when driving at times and I cant move it over to the left, only up or down

the different settings in iD (std, reduced, indiv) merely affect the non-essential CONTENT of the display (media, NAV turns, telephone, etc) and have nothing to do with the different modes. Sport should be orange with big speed/gear indicator within the dials, and Eco should be blue.

Assuming you are talking id6 then yes it can be configured that way , mine is set that way
Can't recall off the top of my head where it's is but look in displays or idrive menu Personal preference obviously Other than the obvious difference for eco pro and sport modes if you have a HUD there are some subtle changes there aswell The 2 I recall are subtle colour change for the horizontal bar below the speed and in eco pro mode if option if selected you get an icon to indicate when to take your foot off gas as there is a corner or end of road coming up to maximise fuel economy |

It might be set to individual so that the standard display shows in all modes.

Thanks everyone. I feel like an idiot. I didn't have the top box checked here. All good. I like to close out threads with the solution for other challenged people like me!

With iDrive 7 cars the display will shift when in various drive modes, but you can’t disable it or change how it works. |
