1.1.�Introduction
As�with�all�other�BMW�models,�the�operating�concept�of�the�new�BMW�3-Series�center�is�based�on�a
clear�and�optimized�layout�of�the�driving�area.�The�number�of�switches�has�been�reduced�in�order�to
simplify�logical�operation.�The�display�and�operating�elements�are�organized�corresponding�to�their
function.

2.1.�Instrument�cluster
The�central�display�unit�with�speedometer,�rev�counter,�fuel�gauge,�engine�oil�temperature,�and�indica-
tor�and�warning�lights�is�referred�to�as�the�instrument�cluster.
The�instrument�cluster�receives�information�on�the�wiring�harness�in�the�form�of�analogue�and�digital
electrical�signals.�These�signals�are�processed�and�then�displayed�in�the�instrument�cluster,�or�passed
on�as�information�to�other�control�units.
Depending�on�the�equipment,�two�different�instrument�cluster�versions�are�used�in�the�F30.
As�a�control�unit,�the�basic�version�of�the�instrument�cluster�is�a�bus�user�on�the�PT-CAN.
As�a�control�unit,�the�high�version�of�the�instrument�cluster�is�a�bus�user�on�the�MOST�bus�and�on�the
PT-CAN.

Index Explanation
1 TFT�display
The�basic�instrument�cluster�in�the�F30�has�five�analogue�instrument�dials�in�four�tubes.�The�basic�ver-
sion�of�the�instrument�cluster�incorporates�a�TFT�display�with�a�resolution�of�320�x�120�pixels�at�the
bottom�between�the�round�instruments.�It�has�a�screen�diagonal�of�2.7“.
The�basic�instrument�cluster�is�installed�in�the�F30�for�vehicles�without�Professional�navigation�system
(optional�equipment�609),�without�Lane�departure�warning�(optional�equipment�5AD),�without�Head‐
Up�Display�(optional�equipment�610),�and�without�speed�limit�information�(optional�equipment�8TH).
The�two�large�round�instruments�show�the�road�speed�and�engine�speed.�The�indication�of�the�status
of�the�automatic�engine�start-stop�function�(MSA)�(READY/OFF)�is�integrated�in�the�rev�counter.�The
current�fuel�consumption�is�displayed�at�the�bottom�of�the�rev�counter.
The�two�small�round�instruments�on�the�left-�and�right-hand�side�show�the�fuel�tank�capacity�and�en-
gine�oil�temperature�respectively.
The�indicator�lights�are�located�centrally�at�the�top�between�the�two�large�round�instruments�and�be-
low�the�speedometer.

Index Explanation
1 TFT�display
The�instrument�cluster�high-version�has�been�designed�for�the�F30�and�has�four�analogue�instrument
dials�in�four�tubes.�Each�of�the�scales�in�the�instrument�cluster�is�specific�to�the�country,�vehicle�and
engine.
The�two�large�round�instruments�show�the�road�speed�and�engine�speed.�The�indication�of�the�status
of�the�automatic�engine�start-stop�function�(MSA)�(READY/OFF)�is�integrated�in�the�rev�counter.�The
current�consumption�is�shown�on�the�display�under�the�rev�counter�and�the�energy�recovery�is�shown
in�the�coasting�(overrun)�mode.
The�two�small�round�instruments�on�the�left-�and�right-hand�side�show�the�fuel�tank�capacity�and�en-
gine�oil�temperature�respectively.
The�high�version�of�the�instrument�cluster�is�available�as�the�optional�equipment�instrument�cluster
with�extended�functional�scope�(optional�equipment�6WA).�The�high�version�of�the�instrument�cluster
incorporates�a�TFT�display�with�a�resolution�of�640�x�160�pixels�below�the�round�instruments.�Its�diag-
onal�screen�size�is�5.7“.
The�high�version�of�the�instrument�cluster�is�required�for�some�items�of�optional�equipment.�This�in-
cludes�the�Professional�navigation�system�(optional�equipment�609),�the�Lane�departure�warning�(op-
tional�equipment�5AD),�the�Head‐Up�Display�(optional�equipment�610)�and�the�speed�limit�information
(optional�equipment�8TH).�A�variant�of�the�instrument�cluster�is�used�in�connection�with�the�Head‐Up
Display�and�has�an�APIX�interface.
