Lost "Engine Display" menu for RPM or Power display in live cockpit

Hello.

I have been coding for a while now both on my old F20 and my new 2021 320i G20
Yesterday I noticed that I lost the menu to switch the live cockpit display between RPM and Power.

In comfort mode it now displays Power instead of RPM.
Does anyone know how to code this option back?

Im on 03/2021.25 and use Bimmercode.

Hi,

What did you code before you lose the display?

First I added coasting in comfort and after coding that and checking everything is working I added comfort+

Both are working, but between the coding sessions I did not see where the rpm display option disappeared unfortunately.

I reverted all my codings but its still not back

No unfortunately I haven't

I have checked the expert codes for the relevant ECUs but haven't found anything that put me in the right direction. Weird stuff.

To clarify the topic a little bit:

I had the engine display setting before coding. Comfort mode live cockpit was always set to RPM instead of power in %.
After coding sailing in comfort and adding comfort+ the live cockpit changed to power in % instead of RPM.

Nothing to worry about. Coding sometimes puts some settings back to default or even to weird values. So I went to settings > displays and I to my suprise the option for "engine display" is completely gone.

- I reverted changes but it didnt help

- Looked at expert mode parameters but havent found relevant settings so far.

- tried coding M display for the live cockpit, and back to default. Didnt help.

RPM display does work in the sport modes

Maybe you just skipped one menu level in your text, but my [Engine display] is under:
Settings/Displays/Instrument Cluster/Engine Display.

This is enabled on mine. I don't think this is it though.
Disabling the powermeter will not bring the menu back I rekon, though I'm currious about the setting on other G20s

I did change some other settings in regards to TACHOMETER but don't have the screenshots on my phone where I type this on later. I code with a dedicated device, the screenshots are on that device

Didn't help though.. still looking

Tried this. But still the same... turned it off. Just tyre pressure and on again. Same results

What update do you mean? I had no OTA update for the car so far. And bimmercode is up to date. But the problem was there a couple of updates back. I personally dont think this happend with an update. Otherwise other forum users would have seen the same issue.

Ok....

So I solved 50% of the problem.

Took your note @phayze and just set POWERMETER_ENABLE to inactive. This brought back the tach / RPM display in comfort mode.

The only thing I haven't found is a way to toggle it through iDrive. That menu option is still gone.

Hi,

I am also looking to enable the menu option to toggle. Setting POWERMETER_ENABLE to active will have the power meter permanently display there.

Hello,
Did you finally find the coding for that menu?
I’m suffering the same issue; lost it after Comfort Plus coding.
