    Would love one, looks good – if it had the updated interior from the 1/2 series with drivers display etc, it would be a no-brainer for us.

    The all new one due next year will no doubt have that Rene. I think that digital dashboards are a bit overrated (having got one on our current car) but I’ve opted for Head-Up Display on the X1 so won’t really be looking at the instrument cluster as all the relevant info will be in my line of sight.

    Yeah, pretty certain it will – lets hope it makes it onto the scheme. Haven’t actually seen it, so lets also hope it doesn’t go stupendous on the front kidneys, like the 4 series and other new BMW models.

    We got a digital dashboard as well, and i absolutely love it. In fact, it helps me a lot as well, since i’m not a native “right hand driver”, so i do need to concentrate every now and then on driving on the correct side of the road (edit: as in, it’s not “automatic” to me, i have to deliberately do it) – being able to glance down quickly for sat nav instructions (and seeing where to sort myself for roundabouts) has been a saving grace more times than i want to admit.

    I do agree, a HUD might do the same trick, though. Especially if it’s a decent one (i don’t know what kind of HUD the X1 has, i’ve seen pretty bad ones though).
