Details
Summary
The 7 Series that introduced BMW's Black Panel instruments and the CIC generation of iDrive.
Specifications
Cockpit
Instrument cluster
Four needles for speed, revs, fuel and oil temperature on a black face where symbols appear only when lit; a 960 x 160 TFT strip below the dials completes their rings and shows navigation, entertainment and check control.
Centre display
Favourite buttons sit on the dashboard.
Standard in US-spec facelift cars as Navigation Professional.
Facts
- Until the ignition is on, the cluster looks like a plain black surface; the climate and audio panels get the same treatment.[2]
- BMW introduced a new operating concept with the F01: four direct-access buttons plus Back and Option buttons arranged right next to the controller, alongside a main menu button.[2]
- The CIC head unit, launched in autumn 2008, stores navigation maps and music on an 80 GB hard disk.[3]
- The 2012 facelift replaced the cluster's physical needles with drawn ones, in a fully digital Multifunctional Instrument Display.[1][4]
- The gear selector moved back to the centre console, replacing the E65's steering-column stalk.[1][2]
