    Different Instrument Panels for 530e???

    I'm shopping for a new car right now and I'm just a little confused by what I'm seeing online. Are there different instrument panels for the 530e? I know the 2021 and newer models are all digital, however, for the 2018-2019 models, I'm seeing some that look half digital and some that look more fully digital. Here are some examples of what I see:

    HTML tags “fixed”.

    Couldn’t “see” what your were talking about until the HTML tags for the images were corrected.

    That is the same instrument cluster…the reason why they look different is because its a digital cluster that has a different “look” for whatever driving experience mode selected.

    1. The top image shows what the cluster look like when in COMFORT MODE.
    2. The bottom image shows what the cluster looks like when in SPORT+ MODE.


    If you look at the bottom far right of the display…you can see what “MODE” is selected (in this case “comfort” & “sport plus”)

    In the image below…you can see how the 6WB (digital) cluster of the F10/F11/F06/F12/F13/F01/F02 (5/6/7 series) had a different look for the various selectable modes (comfort/sport/eco-pro):
