I'd like to be a ballerina, but that's not happening either. While it was handy to see the direction on the mirror in my old F15 (or was it my E70?), the ability to easily and quickly switch between multiple screens with abundant information is part of what makes the G05 so great. You can access the information multiple ways -- set one of the multiple user defined buttons, or customize your iDrive screen and swipe between multiple screens, or use the buttons surrounding the iDrive controller, or use voice command to call up the info you want. The trick is to embrace the future, instead of clinging to the past. Once you do that, I bet you enjoy the new system even more.

I actually like it better in one of my Home screens than I did in the mirror.
My #2 Home screen has compass, map, traffic info and clock. I find myself using that #2 screen a lot.

For my #1 I have big clock to the left with music and phone to the right. It's uncluttered looking to me like that and it's what I use most when not navigating. We should probably have a thread on ideas for screens instead of jacking a thread (sorry I did that OP)

There's a couple of ways to add a page but this might be the easiest - You have to be stationary - tip the idrive controller forward (up on the screen) >adjust main menu > add page then pick your "widgets"

Thanks for the help. I really love the options and things you can customize with this car but because of it it can be overwhelming too. |

You’re right, there are a lot of customizable settings, but the nice thing is once it’s set up, it’s all set up (just needs minor tweaks sometimes after living with it for a bit)
