Consumer Description

The car has part analogue part digital display, the MPH is displayed only via the analogue dial in 10 MPH increments. It's difficult to maintain speeds at 25 / 35 /45 /65 mph. The functionality exists to enable the digital speedometer but BMW refuses to code it on. Rather the company directs you to after market coders to enable the functionality. Alternatively you needed to opt to the $1000 optional fully digital display but this was not made clear at the sales process. BMW has a solution for the 2019 / 2020 X3 under SIB 62 07 19 but refuses to acknowledge this at service centers.
