I know I am getting on (my eyes are dim, I cannot see....) but are there any workarounds for the apparent fact that under normal driving conditions, I find it difficult to see the speedo. This is particularly bad in bright outside conditions. Then, I am normally wearing sunglasses, so that makes it worse. I tried looking for a way to turn on some back-lighting, unsuccessfully. I mentioned my problem to the local dealer (Doncaster BMW in Melbourne Australia), and they said that was the way it was, implying I would need to put up with it. The central screen is also not very bright. I have turned up the brightness to the max, but would like it brighter. Seems like I need to become a nocturnal driver with lights on, when there is a satisfactory illumination of relevant dials, screens etc. Am I the only one who has this issue?
