Speed/Rev Dials when in Sport mode?
I've seen videos on Youtube where when Sport mode selected the dials (revs and speed) change to a red colour. My car does not do this when I select sport mode. Is this an option you have to buy or something to configure in settings? Try as I might I cannot find where I do this in "setup".
Any ideas please? Maybe I need to RTFM a bit more!

You need option 6WB that is the Multifunctional Instrument Panel for that.

Yes it is the MFD, £500 option and worth a £1000 to my mind

Ok guys thanks. I was looking through the owner's manual earlier and the different colours display is only mentioned in the manual after the Multifunctional Display. Oh, well! Would have been worth £500 to have that option!

The other cool thing it does is when in comfort mode it will magnify the numbers the needle is next to.
I had been talking myself out of getting it, but then my test drive car had it, and I knew that I would regret not ticking that box.

Like Piers, I'd pay more for the MFD, really is a great bit of kit. I was lucky that they brought it out just as I was ordering. It really is the one thing I really wish I could get on my new 335d

Cheap option from bmw.
All those clusters on ebay are in excess of £700. And with fitting, it is atleast £1000 pound retrofit. Looked into it multiple times but cannot justify spending £1K on this retrofit.

I think I am on my own with my opinion that I'd rather have the conventional dials. The MFID has very poor contrast at night - especially with the red/black scheme. The blacks are illuminated grey and the red is similarly bright dark red.
Fortunately I have the HUD, which means I don't have to look at the MFID much. |

My question... can you set it to one or another display types, without it being related to the modes? I wouldn't want to see it change each time I go from mode to mode. I love the clarity of the full black panel display, I'd have to try MFID to be convinced it was better. HighlandPete |

Re sport mode, I agree Pete, it is a bit boy racer ish, but I feel that is half the fun of the dash. The 5 is a wonderful place to sit, and mainly cruise. Every now and again, the mood takes to crack on, select bright red dials and immerse yourself in a different world, albeit briefly, then back to comfort. (Even with the Elise, I love the odd road to lob the 5 down for a different experience)

You have the default display, and the Eco Pro display and Sport display. But you can set it to stay on the default display when in Eco Pro or Sport modes if you want.

Can't wait to get the 5'er now as I keep remembering how more refined the front end felt compared to my e91 which felt a little gritty. What type of Elise do you have? B.O.T. (kinda) one thing that would be great to do is if you could swap the sides for the rev and speed counters. They are on the opposite side in the Elise, so always have to readjust.

Some elements are nice like the way the numbers grow as the needle approaches them and when the limiter is on the numbers over the limit dissapear. At night the black does wash out too, bit disappointing really. |

Agreed. HUD + conventional dials would be the best option, but when you specify the HUD the MFID is only £255, so it's just to tempting to click.
Luckily with the HUD you don't have to use it that much! |
