Default 2026 dash configuration?

Can the bar-style tachometer be displayed or chosen as a default set up when the car is NOT in Sport + mode? IE, can it be made the default graphic in regular or eco mode?

^^ I doubt it because in the pre-2026 model, the tach would be different based on the mode you were in. In my 2025 (and my 2022 and 2021), I prefer the sport+ with the broad white band around the tach, so I get it

Thank you. Although not the news I was hoping. Thought maybe because there was a lot more configuration included on the 2026, it had changed.

Someone with a 2026 may chime in and there could still be hope so don't despair just yet. Personally, I have always prefered the round display. I despise what BMW did where there weird shaped display with crooked vertical display, even KIA i think does this.

Appreciate the input. I agree, I am more akin to traditional round gauges with needles. Just reminds me of cars I grew up on. The latest tach is now a tiny inch long affair, which doesn't give that "swing" up and around look when you punch it. But it's just what we have to work with today, including all the tech and trip info. Give and take. Not complaining.
