Even BMW is penny pinching now.
Manufacturers remove all items that are deemed ancillary and then add gadgets as we are happy to pay for these. Just look the list of options now
So now you get only one reversing light, no dials for water or oil etc etc etc on the 1er,
soon it will move through all the models.
Blame the low cost car manufacturers for offering a bunch of gadgets as standard instead of useful items like temp and oil pressure gauges etc
I see your point but not strictly true. My E92's had no water temp gauges, but the new 3 series do.
