The coolest thing I’ve found on my 650.

Took night driving to see it.

Light in the chrome bezel around the speedo that shows where the cruise control is set.

I ran the cruise up and down just to watch the glimmer shift around the bezel.

Those crazy Bavarians.

Lol, is this similar to the shift indicators in sport+ flappy paddle mode?

Where are these indicators? I haven’t seen this, but then again the dash and gauge cluster are so busy with lights....

Was it a little green "dot" that indicates the speed the cruise control is set to (see pic below with red arrow pointed at the green dot location)? If yes, I saw this the other weekend on a 3 hour trip I took to an out of town funeral. On the way back, it was dark...and I did see the little green light on the speedometer that matched the speed set with the cruise control.

I do remember doing a quick internal "hmm"... about noticing it...as well as seeing it move when I had to reduce or increase the speed (due to changes in the posted speed limit) using the little toggle switch in the left steering wheel button pod.

I wonder if this is something that only the older cluster have vs the newer digital clusters?

Yep

If the owner's manual wasn’t 1,000 pages I probably would finds lots more interesting stuff this car can do.
