On my 40i, when I put the car is Sport/Sport+, I think the speed shown in the HUD used to turn red (as opposed to being shown in white numbers as standard).

It doesn't do that anymore, but I have a memory of this happening before. The instrument cluster changes it look for sport mode, but the HUD looks the same in all modes.

Does your HUD go red in sprot mode OR, am I getting confused with my previous G30 with ID6?

I think mine only changes to orange when the lights are on and it is dark outside

[IFlyX5]

Mine only shows White and when it reaches above the detected speed limit (road signs), it shows Red/Orange. Doesn't matter whether I am in Sport, or Comfort, Adapative, etc.

My X5 is on 07/2021.50, I think, and it's a non-MSport model. Same thing on the wifey's x45e but hers is on 11/2021.35

In my M50i when I’m going over the posted speed limit, the speed in the HUD flashes and then turns orange until I slow down.

When u go over the speed limit, the number will turn red. Anything other than that is white. I believe this applies to all modes.

*correction: the line does change based on the drive mode. Comfort-white, sport-red, eco-blue. The number change to red once you pass the speed limit. Just happen to be outside.

FWIW, the over speed flashing stops after about 10-seconds, but the color change to red is constant while you're over the speed limit. It would be annoying if it flashed constantly.

Thanks for all the replies.

My memory had failed me and I couldn't remember exactly what I was referring to, but I've been back in the car this evening and realised I was thinking of the small line that is presented just above the current speed in the HUD.

That line changes to red/dark orange when in sport/sport+.

The actual speed number itself stays white, unless speeding as discussed.

I realised just now that when using "reduced mode" on the instrument cluster (which I have been recently), that line does not go red in sport/sport+. I noticed that as soon as I turned off reduced mode while in sport mode, the line turned red straight away.

That line changing colour is a small detail, but something I obviously appreciated subconsciously, because I knew something was missing when it stopped doing it.

I believe it changes red & some other stuff is added, IIRC or does something different than the other drive modes. I usually keep it in adaptive but I'll check next time I go out.

There used to be a segmented line display in the HUD while driving in SPORT mode - now it's just a line - can't recall which OTA borked that for me.

I've circled the line in question on the pic below, just for clarity.

This is what I was referring to in my last post... Don't know if mine is still segmented. I don't think I looked since I did the OTA software update

Mine is still segmented, but I do have the issue with sport displays (tach) not displaying in HUD unless set to "always" show - but thats another thread!

Same. I really liked this feature. I cant believe they still haven't gotten around to fixing this.

Do you have a picture of that? Because I drove in S+ the other day and I saw a segmented line at the TOP of the HUD window.

Those bars are to indicate when is the best time to shift I believe.

Ok now I understand. What is the segmented line over the MPH doing, vs. the non segmented line. TBH I never noticed either of those lines.

[SKBSY8]

Did u also check this setting ? If u uncheck the option, everything stay as white.

Setting->display

[Stoshu]

You can also change the setting so the numbers don’t change color if you exceed the posted limit. I have mine set to warn me if I hit 95 mph I think.

Which iDrive version do you have? I am on 03/2021 version and I don’t see this option unless it doesn’t apply to hybrids.

Exactly this ^^^

I have it turned off entirely. Along with lane departure assist, and a plethora of other things that annoy me.
