It can be deactivated in the settings menu, correct? I know it won't be the same as having gauges, but at least it wouldn't change each time you changed driving modes. I was excited that my car had it and thought I would really like it. In fact, it was the one option I regretted not being able to get when I was considering a 5 Series. But once I saw the Sport Mode display live, I didn't like it at all. I found myself averting my eyes from the dash when in Sport Mode. I really don't have a problem with the Comfort or Eco Pro Mode displays. I didn't see anything in my owner's manual about being able to deactivate it, but the BMW Youtube channel video shows how it can be deactivated.
