Display gear number in non-manual modes?

fryguy · 06-02-2016, 05:46 PM

So I just bought an m235xi (picking up tomorrow). I'm coming from a DCT 135i. One thing that I really liked about the 135i was that even in automatic modes it would display what gear I was in (D1, D2, D3, S1, S2, S3, etc).

Is this possible to replicate on the M235xi

you can code it but only for S mode

Not while in D, but yes for S1, S2 etc and M1, M2 etc...if you optioned the sport transmission I believe. If not, someone will correct me.

Mine's not been coded and I get S1...M1...etc. Why would he need to code?

Maybe it changed in the latest i-steps... before in S mode you would only see S same as in D you only see D

I get S1, S2, S3, etc in mine, no coding required. Just D though, which it would tell me the gear too, I found that useful in my IS 250.
