Hi all!

In my car the upper arch of the steering wheel blocks the upper arch of the speedometer and, more annoyingly, the green blinker arrows. This despite the seat being at the bottom limit, and the wheel being at the upper limit. I?m 1.85 m tall, nothing extraordinary.

Does anyone have a similar issue?

 

try to adjust the steering wheel up and down, whilst at the same time adjusting ur seat. I can see my dashboard perfectly. Im 1.80m tall

 

Yep, same here. I'm 6ft 1".

I think it'd be great if they could incorporate the indicators into the HUD at some point. Not being able to see the speedo doesn't bother me as I have that info on the HUD but not being able to see if my indicators are on is a bit of a bug bear!

A lot of us here have described this problem. It stinks since I can't see my right blinker and because they are so quiet I've caught my self with my blinker on for miles!

 

Oh, ur witnessing just blinkers problem. Then its common. We all have it. Miss-read ur post.

 

same here...my seat is bottomed out and although I could take the steering wheel up slightly, I don't like the elevated position.
I just learn to live without the upper arch of the dials...1.83m here.

 

Thanks, guys!

I did my search before posting, but couldn't find anything. Must be a wrong choice of search words.

Anyway, I feel better now knowing I'm not the only one having this issue. But what a blooper on the part of BMW designers, ain't it?

 

I have problems seeing the blinkers and live with the tops of the speedo and tach chopped off because I like the wheel low and the seat more upright than most. You can adjust it to see the tops of the speedo but that doesn't help the blinkers. Its a trade off for having a compact thick rimmed wheel. If it had a steering wheel from a '63 Chevy, it wouldn't be a problem.

 

I'm not that tall and I've set my seat position where I like it and my blinkers are half covered... but if I shift slightly left or right I see them partially so I can tell if they're on or not...
