You won't see such poor readability of instrument dials happening on modern cars of BMW's competitors (Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, etc.).

I asked my dealer to report this issue to BMW. He did and BMW replied to him that I wasn't the first to point it out - BMW knows about it.

BMW should address this, definitely.
Exactly. It should be a recall. In some conditions it's almost impossible to read the Tach/Spedo for some reason. It's only easy at night.

I always turn on the digital speed display so I can see my speed when the sun is out, but then you can't see the Posted Speed Limit which makes that feature unless.
