My BMW dealer in Dallas asked his guy and said he hasn't heard anything about it, so I'm thinking no

The UK configurator for both the 2015 F15 and F16 show the LCD Multi-functional instrument panel as an option for £375. However, I have BMWNA pricing sheets for both in front of me and neither show it.

Perhaps it will be available in EU and not in NA (wouldn't be the first time that's happened), or maybe they decided not to do it and just didn't take it off of the configurator.

After seeing the LCD dash in the 650GC, I would much rather have the regular dash. The resolution isn't high enough on the LCD dash, and you can see the pixels. If they ever do an OLED dash, then I'm in. Otherwise, no thanks

That's not the first time I've heard that. Just because it's the newest and latest tech, doesn't necessarily mean it's the best.

BMW needs to team up with Samsung or LG to get some better screens... BMW .. or Germany has always lagged behind on electronics versus Asia...
