I doubt there is a difference in what they can display. Its just how they display it. Well ok, I'm not sure about the Eco Pro stuff, like the hints "less throttle" or "don't use manual mode" etc. Those are displayed below the rev-counter. Oh and speaking of that: With the blackpanel you have the bmw typical "current fuel consumption" indicator there, fully electronical instead of oldschool-needle as in my beloved E30s, but its there. Its color depends on the mode.

Speaking of changing color. Depending on the light situation outside (day/night) the letters and numbers of the lower half of the instrument cluster (fuel level, milage, time, temp and whatelse is there) changes from red (night/early morning) to white (day). Not sure how or if that is done on the small display. But I think as its a multi-color lcd too, at least the lcd adapts probably too.
