6MT - Gear Shift Indicator
Morning,
Just notified that dash gear indicator showing incorrect gears. I’ve booked service appointment for tomorrow but wondering if PDI was not properly done/programmed? Car has only 40km only |

Totally. I turned mine off within the first 100 miles. I also thought it risked confusing me on the track if I caught it out of the corner of my eye, brain farted and thought the display was the gear I was in, then money shift. Unlikely to happen, but it’s so useless anyway.

This feature is useless and turned it off right away. Telling me i should be in 6th when going 40, wth??
Disable the setting is in idrive so if you have a 16, i can tell you how to disable it. I know the 17/18, the idrive menu path is different to disable. |

Super annoying in the m2. At least in my m235 I remember it was only there in comfort mode, I don't recall it being active in sport+ while the m2 has it for all modes.

I wish it could just be replaced with the current gear. I don't generally lose track of what gear I'm in, but it would be nice to have a reminder at times.

I wish it would at least show when you are in reverse. I've caught myself a couple times having it R by accident. Didn't you used to have to push down to get it into R in the past?

Reverse takes a fair bit of effort to slam over to the left. I can't see myself ever getting to Reverse by accident... and I'm 6'3" / 280 pounds and not a weakling. If you're regularly shifting so hard that you get R by accident, you might want to re-think how much force you're putting on the gear lever. If you're fighting it, you might be doing it wrong...

Things like this and mpg indicator are things I don't understand. Give me boost gauge and current gear instead.
