The control units on the multifunction steering wheel follow the same logic,
again offering the driver maximum safety in controlling the car.
Through its overall design, the instrument panel interacts with the Semi-
Command seats to provide a clear view from above on the control units for
the lights and the start/stop button on the centre level of the dashboard tilted
at a strong angle to the front. The horizontal orientation of the entire cockpit
additionally emphasises the generous character of the interior.
Instrument cluster with colour display in Black Panel technology.
The instrument cluster in the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is made up of a
high-resolution colour display in Black Panel technology presenting four circular
instruments in the traditional style of a sports car as well as status and function
displays, navigation readings, information from the Check/Control unit, feedback
from the control buttons and the Service Interval Indicator relevant to the driver.
Featured from the start as standard in the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo, Black
Panel technology ensures particularly precise and, at the same time, sophisti-
cated presentation of all important information.
In conjunction with the optional navigation system Professional, the instrument
cluster comes with an even wider range of individual functions. When not in
use, the display forms a homogeneous, black surface, the numbers on the dials
being generated electronically and thus not becoming visible on the display, like
all the other symbols, until activated.
The Control Display for the iDrive control system on the same level as the
instrument cluster in typical BMW style is integrated in the middle as a free-
standing element in the dashboard. Together with the central air vent, a storage
box and the centre console with the control units for the audio and climate
functions also in Black Panel technology, the Control Display forms a vertical
axis from top to bottom.
To further enhance their particular look and function, the Control Display and
the control units on the centre console come in galvanised metal surrounds.
