Now regarding the dimmer, there are a ton of settings available for it.
Do you have the LCI flat bezel cluster or the pre-LCI with the clear curved housing?

Ok poor wording on my part, I was referring to H pattern shifters that have been updated to show current gear & I've even see some with shift lights. These are obviously competition vehicles but I still say the gear indicator can have a valid use, clearly not for commute or the average spirited driving though. Guess it just depends on usage.

We of the DCT get current gear and a suggestion for the the gear that your grandma would select. It’s a source of amusement.

One other question; in my iDrive settings, I have the gear shift indicator turned off since I found it more annoying than useful. Does this setting need to be turned off or on, or does it not matter all together?

It will need to be turned on to be able to see it; but please try it both ways and let me know!

So you did one enable and one disabled?
Did you use esys or other tools? I can take a look at any other settings that you have that may be interfering then.

I used bimmercode in expert mode with an ethernet cable. I no longer have an esys working setup unfortunately. |

Oh, so you've never had it working? That's not right.
PM me and we can look at the entire cluster coding.

When I revert the 2 coding changes, everything works as expected and the shift point indicator rectangle shows up, but of course not displaying current gear. I'll PM you regardless! |

Perfect, I bet we can figure out what the other difference may be.

So we left off at OG M2 settings which don't work the same as on M2C. This can be either due to flash update requirement for the instrument cluster or a 3rd and yet-to-be-discovered settings is needed for OG M2.
We'll be finding out, I have a couple approaches for it. In the meantime if anyone wants to try it on S55, I can help. I may have to post this in the M2C section as well. (Honestly the 2 M2 sections should be combined to one and the N55 and S55 sections should be the one for engine differences.)

I can confirm that this does not work on my LCI N55. Even with my M Variante setting enabled, it just gets rid of the shift point indicator together - maybe we need to play around some more with the gang settings and see what else is different between M2 and M2C… I believe my car is one one of the later iStep versions

Couple notes to add: - Coded it exactly as mentioned - Did not turn on the "shift point indicator" in the iDrive settings; didn't want to risk touching it - M sport displays for the steering and drivetrain still function normally for those that would rather have that display than the consumption meter
