I know there is a lot of negativity to the idea of the tacho reading anti-clockwise, but I find there is a design and function logic to it.

I look at it this way, if you are going to introduce more info, options and displays in the middle of the panel, you have to lose the way conventional dials read. (You have to blot out part of the key dials). The symmetrical way BMW are setting out the display allow the speedo and tacho to be constantly displayed. To me, still wanting any digital panel primarily as a driver focused display, that is a good thing.
