Instrument cluster back-light during the day (speedo / tach)
Another question - in my F30 328i, the speedo / tach were lit with a white light during the day and then it would switch to the usual BMW orange at night. Is the 2 series supposed to do that as well? I've noticed the speedo / tach isn't lit at all during the day (w/ light control set at Auto).
Just wanted to make sure this was not a new car 'gremlin'. Thanks, Praz

Thanks Killramos for the reply.
I tested it again (car in park, headlights set to 'On' instead of 'Auto') and there's no back-light. In my 328i, it was pretty noticeable on start-up but you're right it's usually somewhat subtle. But there's NO change in backlight when I start up the car and adjusting the rolling knob doesn't do anything I guess I have to add that to the list.

Can any other 2 owners confirm that there is a white backlight on the speedo / tach during the day? Or do we only get an orange one that comes on at night?
Thanks, Praz

Yea I have no back lit either. Kind of bothering me as for split seconds when light is impeded I cannot see the dash.
Oh but I can see the M235i symbol at the bottom. |

FYI bmw genius confirmed that the 2 series doesn't have daytime back lighting for the speedo and tach.
