530e Tachometer

I have seen a few youtube videos with a tachometer being displayed in place of the charge/ power meter, in what looks like sport mode. I have tried everything (as far as I am aware), and I cant figure out to have the tach to display. Is this just a feature for UK models or am I missing something?

If you code the car to have the Alpina display the tach shows in all modes except ecopro. That is what I have done. Of course, that is assuming that you have the digital dash that is programmable.

Does this look similar to your setup? Also, is there a difference between the digital dash that is programmable versus the non programmable variety?
