Dashboard and HUD
Does anyone know anything about what the Virtual Cockpit will look like? Is it from the current 5 series? Somewhere I saw mentioned the new HUD with more information, can anyone elaborate?
Is the 335D gone? Is it now the M340D? I had a Non xDrive 335i Touring and I really didn't like it, too much power, not enough grip, my 335D xDrive is magic. |

The new X5 interior kind of looks similar to what we have seen in the G20 spy shots.

I'm in the " love " the digital dash camp!!!
After Audi had there's the last few years I don't understand why other manufacturers aren't going this same route. Even Lexus's F Sports with their sliding tachometer was from 2014 and looked really cool the nav being dead center in front of the driver's eyes would be nice!! |

I've also noticed that BMW has begun using the same shifter/iDrive control layout in all of their new cars (X5, 8 series, Z4). I imagine this is an effort to modularize the interior design so they don't have to implement unique control layouts for each model. Last edited by RPM1123; 08-14-2018 at 03:11 PM.. |

I think all the dashboard content should be carried over to HUD at this point. I don't know why they're still investing on redesigning the dashboard. It's like designing a new CD-Drive for a new laptop. (Or USB-A port). Waste of resources.

I don't even like HUD personally it flickers on F30s. HUD requires a polarized windshield which costs a ton of money to replace if it cracks and isn't a common part, unless they made every single car have HUD which doesnt seem like will happen any time soon. |

Jet planes offer a glimpse of the future. The new graphics that come with the latest Gulfstream jets look like they're from Star Trek. Actually better than Star Trek. I see car instrumentation going in that direction. Plus, they can update the look and feel of the instrumentation with a simple upgrade now.

I think the hud is a better place to be putting any info. Info on the dashboard means you have to look away if only briefly. I think once you have had a hud you will know what I am on about.
I think putting maps and detailed info on the dashboard from an ergonomics view is a bad thing but manufacturers are tempted to do so as it looks "cool" . |

On an Automatic Only car it doesn't matter anymore. E-brake is fine
Was watching Tesla 3 review on YouTube last night, it's like riding (not driving) a laptop. If that's where BMW is going you won't even have an e-brake in a couple of years |
