Damon Lavrinc at Autoblog brings news about full customizable LCD gauge displays coming to the "refreshed" 5-series and 7-series, which we take to mean the facelift / LCI versions of the current models - supposedly within 2 years time.

It appears that BMW's two largest sedans will transition from black panel displays to full digital LCD displays where the tachometer, speedometer, fuel meter, and temperature gauge will all take a digital form. The display may also be customized to display navigation and infotainment info and take on different looks appropriate for the car being in sport or comfort mode.

We'll lament the extinction of the physical needle and gauges in the F10 and F01, but we suspected that it was only a matter of time before full LCD gauges worked their way into BMW's top sedan models.
