Orange Band

Hello

I have the digital cockpit in my 2015 X5 40d - does anyone know what the orange band signifies? This was taken in sport plus mode under hard acceleration! Photo attached. Thank you. MC

I would imagine HP? That's what it says right next to it on the right-hand side.

It's the power band (below). The one around (outside) the dial is the shift light.

It's where VTEC kicks in yo?

Time to shift. You got the indicator to shift up on the bottom too.

MPPK? He's got a diesel (40d) - it's all about torque and meaningful acceleration at any rpm, not only when you're in the power band
