F80 gauge cluster info display

[SteveYem]

In the little info screen between the speedo and tach on the F80, is it possible to configure it to show both the outside ambient temperature and the gas mileage simultaneously? I know I can scroll through all the available info, but have not figured out how to show any two parameters simultaneously.

I find myself toggling between gas mileage (for morbid curiosity I guess?) and outside ambient temperature, but that requires something like 6 presses of the button on the end of the stalk and I'm worried I'll wear it out : )
I recall seeing an image somewhere, maybe on this forum, showing that center display with the vehicle speed, gas mileage and ambient temperature stacked vertically, whereas by default there is an empty space between the vehicle speed and whichever parameter is selected to be displayed. I'm wondering if this is something that could be accomplished with aftermarket coding?

Would love to be able to display time and ambient temp at the same time.

I found a workaround of sorts! If you go into iDrive Settings > Displays > Instrument panel and uncheck the 'Digital Speedometer' option, then it removes the vehicle speed from the center display and instead shows the outside temperature, the time, and the third parameter which can be toggled using the upper button on the end of the turn signal stalk. I set the selectable display parameter to fuel economy and now I'm a happy camper!
Considering there is a physical speedometer as well as the HUD displaying the vehicle speed, this is an acceptable solution for me.

I found it odd because I never had the issue... and for exactly this reason. I've never had the digital speedo on
