Digital tach.

Anyone know for sure whether the digital tachometer will be in the X5M? It isn't featured in any of the models shown online.

No. It's not offered in any M model currently.

Given the marketing behind "M-Specific Instrumentation", my guess is that the M division felt "proper performance cars have analog displays", so we're unlikely to see the digital dash in the short to mid-term...

Sucks! It's 2015 time for digital gauges
Especially for that price!

I saw digital on a 2015 X6, they looked like shiat, I for one am glad the M's are remaining with analog gauges.

I saw my first "in the flesh" X6 yesterday, and wasn't blown away by the digital dash either. I'm more disappointed that you can't get ACC Stop & Go on the X6M than the digital dash

I agree with you completely. I put the digital cluster in my X5. While it's cool, it doesn't compete well with others on the market.

I'd much rather have ACC.
