Instrument cluster

Before buying the M5C I did much research as I’m sure we all did.
One of the small things I liked was that depending on the mode selected, the instrument dials changed, blue for eco, angry red for sport plus.
My car was one of first M5Cs to have the new IDrive 7, which I like and have no issue with the shape of the dials, or their backward motion. However, unless I’m missing something, I don’t believe the dials change one bit in either colour or design, whatever mode your in?
Worse still, I believe our singular design is exactly the same as the new 1 series, and all the other BMW cars with IDrive 7? Please tell me I’m missing a setting !!!!!!

Don't think so. I've been through every possible menu option (as far as I know) and have never seen anything on the instrument panel change to a different color or any menu items that allude to anything like that.

Sport vs sport plus - there is a change in the detail on the spedo and color of the various trims lines to red.

I get no such change? Yours is IDrive V7?

Any chance you would take a photo so I have some ammo with the dealer?
