BMW wants to integrate the digital clock - now in the roof lining - into the Radio.

To the driver this means you have 1 display to do 2 jobs. The position is much better, but you would set up the radio to have an auto display clock. So after 3 seconds of nothing being pressed on the radio, the clock would appear.

Advantages I see - cost (maybe only to BMW), logical position, automatc changing display

Disadvantages I see - all the information is not always available, diffenerent drivers may want different setup, complex (unless you read the handbook - and who does??)

PLEASE tell me. as a MINI fan what you think. I am just as interested in the NOT BOTHERED, WHO NEEDS A CLOCK answers for example as the NO WAY or YES - IT MAKES SENSE.

In 2 years when it happens, don\'t say I didn\'t warn you, or give you a chance to have your say.
