Is it BMW 3 series 2015?
And when I'm talking about fuel consumption...I'm actually after it cos i do a lot of interstate travel...so advise

From my experience with M40,m42,N42,N46 .
I'd have to just say straight six engines are the best ,they are even better for long distance travel

I'm talking about normal series BMW .only few normal series have them v8 etc .
And he wasn't talking about amg too .

So A V8, V10, v12 engine BMW is now an abnormal BMW series?

With that terrible orange colour backlight and cheap interior plastic trim that even faded and it’s write up peels off from switches, buttons and knobs?
I got news for ya mate, a toyota trim piece isn’t made of cheap brittle plastic and the write up don’t fade, then is the optitron cluster which is brilliantly made and legible both in the day and at night. Yes, they may look boring but they’re ergonomically well sorted out and balanced for functionality.

You're trying so hard to sound ridiculous and it's working .

BMW 1 Series

I like bmw’s look and stance cool

But you see that their orange/red light instrument cluster backlight ehn . . . IT IS A TOTAL TURNOFF FOR ME and the highest dealbreaker.

I hope they have stopped doing such on their newer models if not I’d never ever dream of owning a bmw vehicle

Did it come like that from factory? grin must I mod before I get rid of it?

Whenever you’re sitting in a vehicle and driving, there are only two places your eyes are supposed to be.

1. The windscreens/windows to see where you’re going

2. Your instrument cluster on your dashboard to see your speedometer and warning/fault lights.

I have no issues with the number 1, is the number 2 that gets to me cry

Still ugly sad

why not highlight the numbers in the dials of the speedometer and rpm to be white and the needles to be the usual red? undecided

Why red throughout? It’s not nice to the eyes at night I swear. Maybe it will need some getting used to but I’d rather have the bulbs for the dials changed to white or light blue

People spend 99% of their entire ownership life of a vehicle in its cockpit. If I was purchasing a car I’d look very closely at its dashboard and how comfy the seats and cargo space are before considering the body style and shape.

Any vehicle with red lights on its cluster will never be owned by me for a long period of time.

See 2005 Camry up and 2007 accord below. Maybe BMW should go learn how to make instrument cluster from the Japanese folks

This is what the fellow Germans are doing with theirs too.

I'm slightly bemused at the comments here.

The orange lights in the interior of the BMW is a deliberate design to minimize eye fatigue during night driving.

In developed nations where road safety is a thing, driving all through the night is quite normal.

White interior lights will strain the eyes way faster than the orange lights used by BMW.

The Germans know this. That's why MB, VW and Audi won't do that tacky white lights you'd see in Japanese cars.

It's actually amusing to see people compare the lighting and ambience of a 5 series to a Camry. Smh.

2005 upwards Mercedes Benz used a shade of white instrument cluster. The top picture is from a W204, middle picture is from a 2012 Porsche Panamera and the bottom is from a 2015 bmw 7 series. It is safe to say bmw realized their silly error and switched to white abi?


It may interest you to know there is a brightness adjustment setting or knob in most cars for their instrument cluster.

Your excuse holds no water pls!

You should have noticed by now that I deliberately never quote you or respond to your quotes.

But I'm going out of my way to politely ask you to NEVER quote me when you choose to exhibit your typical immaturity.

Please, do NOT quote me again.

I'd rather have civil conversations with people who can conduct themselves in public.
