I just enabled M-Drive and the HUD on my 535 (2010). I did this by coding
HUD_M
MDrive =====> All three to "aktiv"
M_Sport_HUD
The display came up and looks cool but two things I can't seem to figure out.
1. How to get gears to display (to show which current gear I'm in. My car is a manual trans.)
2. How to calibrate the meter to match my engine rev's. (in the picture I am doing 3,000 rpms but is barely moving, when close to red lining the guage is about a 3/8ths).

I was really excited to get this enabled on my display but am now kind of bummed out becuase it is almost useless without those two features.
Insight anyone?

It will only show the gears if the transmission is in sport manual sequential mode, as for the rev counter it auto calibrates to the engine RPM, so that whats it is im afraid it will only show full on an M5.
On a diesel the counter is even smaller.

Is there a way to enable the diesel counter (even though I have a non-diesel)? because if the diesel gauge is a smaller then that would fit better than [for this purpose] what is enabled now.

Blood,
Do you know anything regarding modifying the nettodat file in the HUD module? would I be able to change anything there?
