Hi all

I was thinking to myself today, is it possible to flash the live cockpit on the 2020 M5 to look like the one on the M8?

By this I mean the narrowing of the tachometer in sport mode, etc..

Anybody have any experience, knowledge on this?

Edit: input wrong car year

I doubt it, if I am not mistaken, the M8 has the live cockpit and the 2019 M5 has those rings and is an entirely different display. Curious myself.

Maybe he means upgrading the 2020 M5? That version has a similar looking Live-cockpit dash display and is running iDrive 7.

The narrow double-tachometer dash display is activated in the 2021 M5 (and all the M8s) via the "Mode" button by switching to "SPORT". Since the 2020 M5 doesn't have the hardware for the "Mode" button I doubt the software can be flashed to the 2021 M5's dashboard look.

And the 2019 M5 has a completely different dash altogether (with the silver rings & and traditional speedo/tach). Definitely not flash-able.

My bad! I meant upgrading the 2020 dash to look like the M8 dash.

It's a shame if it can't be done. I thought it was as simple as a little flash :
