Makes sense. What additional parts of the EU variant are digital compared to the US version?

The numbers of the speedometer and rev counter, and the fuel and temp gauges are digital too.

Glad they brought back the rear ventillation temperature selector.
On my F10, you must tick the rear dual zone climate control option if you want to heat up the rear passengers, else you can only get from somewhat warm to frosty air.

How does the Harman Kardon system compare to any previous F series BMW?

Congrats!!!

F10 is better looking!

I'm waiting to see the G30 before I make a judgement, but from the pictures I'm not convinced on the front of the G30. I do like the look of the F10 (always have) and feel it is not overshadowed by the G30.

My personal feeling, the G30 is more 'bling' at the front.

Looks like there's a party in there.
Congratulation!

vpatel867 · 01-31-2017, 07:10 AM

NYAWE60 · 01-31-2017, 07:47 AM

Many of us have been down this road before. In a year or two, people will be discussing how the F10 looks so old/outdated. Some already are...

This is the way it goes with many redesigns of an existing platform. Give it time to grow on you.

Wow I'm really disappointed, I didn't know the US models don't get the fully digital display... wonder why that is? I'm really not a fan of this instrument cluster.

It will be eventually...Supply constraint was mentioned as possible reason

congraaaats, love the dials, Enjoy driving

Eric500 · 01-31-2017, 10:35 AM

Do you have the display key? If so what package do you need to get it

jackaleyess · 01-31-2017, 10:58 AM

It's part of the remote control parking option. I'd take a look at that key fob before buying it. It's pretty big and hefty, and can't be used with a key ring/chain.

I'm confused now. The speedometer, RPM values, fuel/temperature gauge are digital on the US model. At least on mine. Are you sure the EU variant's instrument cluster is different?

I'll post a video

I don't. The key with the display on it is part of the Remote Control Parking option

Congrats on your car and thanks for the pics.

Could you give me your opinion about driver assistance features in general and in particular, lane keeping assistant ?

Russkey · 01-31-2017, 01:41 PM

Congrats! Impressive interior upgrades. I like your pics more than promo pics! Good job

To the f10 forum members, do you guys remember a few people modified similar led lights under the headlights? It looks like the G30 designers liked the idea

Alan l. · 01-31-2017, 01:43 PM

Congrats.

Now all you need to do is find a local F10 535/550 and find a track to do some rolling races to see if the G30 540 is really quicker than the previous models. You'll get tons of hits on your youtube channel and also help people decide of the B58 in the 540 is really enough or should they wait for the M550
