Not great pictures but cool options to code the display on my m550i with BimmerCode. Check out the video too

Have you come across any way to change the HUD options to show the M5-style tachometer and gear display, such as pictured in their marketing material? https://www.bmwusa.com/content/dam/b...arousel-02.jpg (assuming of course that the hardware is similar across the two models--it seemed that this was a definite 'no' on pre-2020 G30s.)

It's a bit annoying how little information is displayed in our fairly-big HUDs, excluding if you've got navigation running (even basic things like turn signal status or cruise control target speed not being there seems pretty short-sighted.)

I will check later. Bimmercode is pretty limited, but gives you enough rope to hang yourself. I noticed the font on the HUD changed after going to the M dash, but with my polarized sunglasses, I have gotten in the habit of not looking at the HUD unless its dark. Let me see if it did anything else to it.

I am about to bimmercode for the first time.
What does this mean?

Use a backup to revert this coding once it has been applied.

How do I backup?

The app will backup all of your current settings and store them in your device in case something does not go right. You can revert to previous settings. You should see the backup option at the bottom.
