The scales on the instrument cluster depend on the country concerned and the engine installed. All indicator and warning lights that are stipulated by law are located between the two large pointer instruments.

Under the two large pointer instruments there is an LCD display (e.g. for Check-Control message symbols).

New features  for the instrument cluster on the E87 and E90/E91:

• No gateway function in the bus system
• Extended on-board computer functions, e.g. electronic oil level check in instrument cluster (for spark ignition engines) and dimming
• Master control unit for the units in all displays
• Reduction in number of signal inputs (hardware incorporation)
• Reserve fuel display via Check-Control message
• Condition Based Service (CBS) in 4th power stage

On vehicles with multi-audio system controller (M-ASK) or Car Communication Computer (CCC): Different displays appear in parallel also on the Central Information Display (CID), e.g. information on CBS or Check Control.
