X1 F48 confirm gear indicator?

halcyon026 · 08-22-2019, 04:14 PM

I have a 2016 X1 28i m-sport US version...

Can anyone confirm if there should be a gear indicator? I don't get a P, D, R, S, M, in the instrument cluster.

Thanks!

Only in sport or m mode

Maybe it depends on the instrument cluster you have? Our 2019 has the newer black panel cluster and there's always a gear indicator in the tach. PRND etc. in regular driving and then it'll show you the actual forward gear number when in sport or manual mode.

Interesting... I don't get an indicator in sport or manual mode. Where should it show up? As in, under the tach, the speedo, etc?

Hey Halcyon, I too do not have the gear selector display either for my 17 xline, Brazil build. Tried coding and no luck. In sport mode nothing as well. I think BMW used spare instrument clusters from inventory and dumped us with them. Next visit to dealer and will ask why.

May 2016 build xDrive 25i non-M-sport AUS/EUR version.

Indicator is in the tacho display. Always been there - car hasn't been coded.

Whether its there or not might be a regional thing, but I can't think of a reason why -

Mine looks like AUS_Tin_Pusher's, but I don't get the gear indicator like his...
