What extra information would you like to see on your dash?

[Jono8]

The best internet price for the bit of my car that has just fallen off/broken/

i lol'd

 

[pokerking]

When on track I just thought it would have been nice.

Nothing like totally ringing the neck of a RS Clio and hearing and seeing the shift light, makes good fun!!


I think actual oil temps and the right amount of fuel in the tank rather than a needle!

see racediagnostics liquid display.

What the thing causing that barely-audible-unless-you-open-the-window-but-extremely-irritating squeak is likely to be.

My Lotus Elise displays the fuel level in litres. Not sure I would use the word 'precise' though.

At the very least I would like my fuel gauge to be linear.

 

[MikeHiow]

The VX220 fuel level may as well be a random number generator.

I assume the Elise is the same.

MOT fail tracker

"Oh noes!!, your brakelines need redoing and your inner sill is starting to rot"

"you have roughly 353.2 miles before your fuel pump explodes"

Reminders for MOT, TAX and insurance

I've already got most of them on the apexi Commander, but without stating the obvious A/F ratio, EGT, Knock, Fuel pressure.

I would like a button that turns all of the dials other than speed (and maybe revs) off. I'd prefer the car tell me when something is wrong, rather than constantly tell me something is fine; I don't care that the coolant is at the correct temperature, I don't care that the oil is at the right temperature, I don't care that the turbos are producing the correct x bar of boost etc.

Oil temperature.
Oil pressure or something indicating live oil level.

I used to have a Tyresure kit for when i did Trackdays in my CTR and 328i, this shows the individual tyre temps and pressures, making it quite easy to monitor and adjust them... Id like to see these built in.

My problem with that is that if the sensor is broken then you would find out the car was faulty by having a potential catasrophic failure. That is why I would have liked a temperature gauge on the XF.

In many cars the guage and the sensor are the same thing i.e. if there's a coolant temperature sensor, I doubt there's a coolant overheating sensor to break. What I would like the car to do is tell me when things are not within normal operating conditions.

 

[Gaygle]

I have pretty much everything i really need at the moment, but i guess it would be cool to have a individual tyre pressure reading when you start the car and a BHP meter like in the Veyron.

Both fairly pointless, but meh.

 

[nanospider]

a BHP meter like in the Veyron.

I think Rolls Royce (used to) have a reserve power meter so you knew how much power you weren't using

The current RRs have this!

That would just depress me:

"You are using: 50hp"

"You have left: 0hp"
