6WB on 2018 40e?
Does anyone know if the 6WB (Digital dashboard) is available on the 2018 40e in the U.S.? What about the 35d?

Weird that it's not available on the 40e...I just ordered my 2018 40e and coming out of 15 X6 which had the digital gauge. Honestly, I don't even care about it anymore, it was cool the first few weeks then you don't pay attention to it anymore especially if you have heads up display

Not available on 40e even with executive package. Not sure what is the reasoning behind it.
Picking up custom order 40e next week. arrived at dealer last week but I'm travelling for work this week. |

Thanks. It is odd that it is not available on the 40e. I may lean towards a new 35d so something is different from my 15 35d.

Insane. I wish, I would love to actually speak with someone at BMW and ask them why their plug in electric hybrid 2018 40e is not available with the digital dash, but their fossil fuel only 35i, 50i and 35d can be had with digital!!!!! SMH!
Also, the F15 X5 should have been made all digital, like BMW did with the X6. It always seemed strange that X5 and X6 have different gauges. I will say though, I LOVE the 1/2 analog, 1/2 digital on my '17 X5. Best of both worlds! |

I would got 35d is I drove mostly highway and 40e if mostly short distance in residential traffic. I prefer the analog dash and coding in HUD turn signals.

It's the same deal for the X5M, I don't believe they have the digital cluster either, has to do with the extra stuff that pops up when shifting and other options that aren't otherwise available in the rest of the X5/X6 line. |

... Or maybe I'll get a 40e with MSport package (I have X-Line now) and that will be the difference. |

I had a '17 40e for 6 months. With battery power and the twin turbo 4 cyl. working together, the 40e is shockingly quick..but it does not feel strong or robust (if that makes sense). W/o the battery (which depletes stupidly quick)...the 4 cyl. gas engine is not really bad on it's own, but IMO, it sounds like utter shit. Big, heavy X5 with a 4 cyl. engine.
The 40e always made me feel like I was driving a really, loaded and highly optioned Toyota Camry with a 4 cyl. engine. Anyone who has driven a "nice" Camry or Accord knows the sound, and feeling. When heavy accelerating in the 40e, it sounded and felt like a 4 cyl Camry really trying. Hated that!!!! |

the 6wb isnt available for the 40e because bmw didn't want to update the cluster and add the e-options.
So its possible to put a 6wb in a f15 40e but then it would work as in a petrol or diesel car so without the batterylevel, batterycomsuption, ... |
