Re: New 2018 RT what would you like to see ??
I love the rt dash, a few small improvements: on the trip counter allow it to have the 3 current settings or range. I'm sure it's there but buggered if I can find a switch to kph instead of mph digitally. I agree on keeping the dials though in reality I don't use the that much just prefer the look.

There is no switch to change to kph from mph. Apparently the dealer can set if required, but not user stable. Just use the Nav or do the calculation, not really an issue

I use the satnav but not much use in a tunnel and on the continent they do love placing cameras on tunnel exits!Casbar wrote:

You have a speedo in mph, its not rocket science to work out the speed in kph, a little bit of mental arithmetic. Or you could just buy another Vauxhall 8)

Never said it was rocket science but clearly BMW consider it to be so.Casbar wrote:

Also useful when you switch (like every other vehicle I've had with a digital dash) to see range & odo in km this helps road signs be more useful. When touring I want to be enjoying the ride & scenery not constantly performing simple maths, obviously I'm odd but the question was what would you like to see sorry I chimed in with my stupid comments. I'll take it back there's absolutely nothing that can be improved BMW are gods of motorcycle making and the RT is the absolute pinnacle. Better?

Surely the whole point of a thread like this is that everybody has their preferences which may be quite different to the preferences of others. I hope we're all allowed to voice our opinions on other people's preferences too - it doesn't make them "wrong" but can go some way to understanding a different point of view .....
