Just give us a normal looking gauge cluster BMW!

Those days with analog gauges are gone, completely agreed the newer version is terrible the RPM is the worse.

Ok, so by the time I get my new x5, it will have an outdated iDrive system?
I hope they keep providing decent updates and features on ID7 in stead of focusing completely on the ID8...

The new gauge cluster in the G series is an absolute disaster, particularly the reverse tach which I still haven't gotten used to and probably never will. Why they thought going anti clockwise on any type of dial would be an improvement is just beyond logic. TBH I couldn't give a toss what BMW do with the idrive but specifically on M cars I wish they'd offer an option for traditional analog dials. Will never happen though but how cool would it be if they did!

I guess we'll see iDrive 8 "Lite" on the MY2022 5-Series

Hopefully they do a better job rolling this out across the lineup this time around.
