Have BMW update the software to the latest ILEVEL 3.60.1 I did this and the Backlights seem to be brighter now.
Also noticed the sound system is louder too. They pushed an update to the AMP But still no light-up dashboard during the day.

After a number of times in daytime when I really need to know the exact speed and having the analogue speedo being unreadable and the digital readout being too small, I decided enough was enough.
I found a small, cheap ($40) HUD on eBay and mounted it via the OBD2 port and easily routed the cables to the unit on the dash. It has limited functions, showing just speed, revs, voltage and temperature but it works great in bright daylight or at night. Only downside is the reflective film patch you can see from outside the car. See: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/201595877...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT |

Another (third) change of part numbers for the cluster, 11/16.
62 10 8 053 079 - up to 7/16 62 10 8 074 051 - 7/16-11/16 62 10 8 089 845 - from 11/16 These are ECE parts, but same applies to mph clusters.

Just bumping up the thread.. Has anyone found a solution to the dim cluster issue?
Do recent 2017 MY owners experience the same problem? Maybe someone had replaced their dim cluster with the updated version (62 10 8 089 845 - from 11/16 as per swagon )? |

My 2017 (week 48 build) dash is easy to read, but I always drive with the headlights or running lights on.

I think the biggest problem is not so much the lack of back lighting, but that the speedometer and tachometer have mid gray lettering on a black background. If they had made the lettering white it would've made all the difference in the world.

I 'remedied' this by installing the P3 gauge (occupying only the upper air vent at the window side). Speed permanently displayed in big orange/amber figures (softer contrast in the dark - brighter contrast during daylight). OBC on my instrument cluster: Speed Limit Info + SATNAV in one screen.

2.) Is this just an M2 issue or do M3/4's have readability issues as well? |
