BMW 1 Instrument panel

Instrument panel with analogue instruments and red backlighting: speedometer, LC display for mileage counter, trip counter and on-board computer, plus tachometer with integrated fuel gauge.

On-board computer, provides information about average speed, average and current fuel consumption, range and outside temperature.

Shift point display for vehicles with 6-speed manual transmission shows when switching to another gear would be more fuel-efficient; the system recommends when to switch to a higher or lower gear, as appropriate for your driving style.

Auto Start/Stop display signals (in the info display) when the engine has been switched off by the start stop function (e.g. at traffic lights or in a jam). The signal disappears when the engine is automatically restarted (for all four-cylinder models in conjunction with manual transmissions).
