m logo on tach?

MrHarris · 12-06-2008, 07:16 AM

The e92 m3's tach gauges the M logo doesn't light up with the rest of the tach. I'm pretty sure the e46 m3's M logo lit up. Is there a reason why the new m3's don't?

ive noticed this too....I Really wish it lit up!

Nah, there pretty nice just the way they are

JK, had to take the shot you left it soooo wide open

they just dont. I guess u just have to live with it or buy another car that does have light up logos.

Just go out and drive and enjoy the car, i dont get why ppl get all their panties in a bunch about the most trivial things.

You could always use the provided glove box flashlight to illiminate the M on the tach. Perhaps the right seat passenger could hold the flashlight for you.

Seriously not sure why they left it out. Maybe they forgot. Maybe it was intentional as M engineers/test drivers were overly mesmerized and couldn't stop looking at it during development.

I guess when you pay that much, the little things would be nice. It would be cool for it to illuminate, but I don't think any M car does.

Oh yeah...sorry to rub it in. I'll trade my flashlight for your I-drive

mspeed · 12-07-2008, 05:20 AM

it was those little details that made an M car feel more special. slowly they will cut them out

i miss the oval rear view mirrors also

skierman64 · 12-07-2008, 08:43 AM

It's the performance that makes the M special.

Cool pic.

Yeah, MY 2009 M3 E93 didn't come with one; If I had known that, I would have just kept the one from my MY 2007 335i

I agree. Something small like the lighting of a logo may seem trivial, but it's all part of what makes an M an M. Little things, like the stitching on the steering wheel, along with big things, like the engine.

I agree....The lit up logo would have been a nice touch but I can live without it.
