I agree on compass position . I had 2 E53, and the ergonomics were really very good. Rearview mirror compass display was perfect and concise. The F15 has goofy , almost overwhelming complexity for telling the driver the direction the car is traveling.
On the cluster, BMW makes you decide if you want to display the compass OR other useful data, such as remaining range or MPG. Oddly, they don't even occupy the same place on the cluster, so being able to display both should be an option. Also, the compass function, in order to be displayed, must be selected each time the car is started. On the E53, it was always there and simple to read. The F15 compass , BTW , is too cartoonish for me, and further complicates the simple issue of presenting information. I know about the split screen compass function, but it sure is overkill presentation for the freakin' direction your heading in!
