For high performance driving that's all I want to see. Anything more is just too much information, and not that useful to me.
I don't exactly know what is being displayed on the LCD in the center but I would like that stuff to be moved down (as a previous poster was suggesting). I actually like the M3 dials; but I would rather have them closer, and am not sure about the dials within the dials. Porsche's answer is to move the smaller dials out, and be stand alone dials. I like the 599's directness. Whatever else is displayed on the dial surface is related to the information the dial is communicating: Rpms-Gear; Speed-Distance.
