Bug with extended black panel diplay

copello · 08-31-2012, 02:34 PM

I am reporting an intriguing "bug" !
The extended black panel display of my 520d 2011 suddenly stopped displaying the regular informations (just the straight orange lines); No more odometer. Just the lines....
When I stopped the car and restarted, all was back to normal.
I guess the computer just had to reset itself....
I was just wandering if this was frequent....
All this electronics...

I've had one instance when my display was completely pitch black and had nothing on it! Was scared something went horribly wrong with the car.. I restarted twice and then it came back to normal

just had mine replaced... wasn't coming on with full bright optics in day light. new one has additional feature..MPG in real time

your dealer can swap yours out..assuming you are within warranty

my car (aprile 2012) has realtime mpg display, its just one of theoptions can can toggel through including speedlimit display, range to empty, overall avergae fle consumption. Thought instant fule conbsumption was there by default. Perhaps you hadn't had it selected before - I think you can decid which ones you want to display from the computer. Might you just didn't have it ticked before?

I also had this issue on my former F10, see attachment. It only happened once, and after stopping and restarting the car, the problem went away.

I like the additional options of "distance to" NAV address and I think "time to" NAV address. Of course, they only show up when there is an 'address' and 'guidance on' in the NAV.
I usually use the L/100km display (mpg) and enjoy it when it reads 0 L/100km and the car is still running.
