As other have posted, some DCTs have it. Further, look at the pictures in the OP, it is clearly a DCT car because there are the Drivelogic bars in the display

I wish my car arrives without this feature. I had it in my old Porsche and I absolutely hated it; I would get an arrow constantly because I drive very differently to what my car wanted...

It is not that big of a deal. It's just a visual indicator below the tach. I don't even notice mine anymore.

This feature is a complete waste btw, you are not missing anything other than foolish fuel saving guidelines imposed on BMW by the EPA.

I was just curious as to why I did not get it. Maybe I just got lucky

Hey BMW, if I was planning on driving your track focused car efficiently I would have bought a Leaf instead. What a waste of some engineers time.... I think they added this feature to screw with us. Unkay, zist is ze plan... Ve vill makes un car constantly indicate a shieft. Zis vill get ze Amerdicans uze to German commands. |

If yours isn't active I've come up with a clever solution which will effectively give you the same functionality that the feature offers, designed specifically around the gearing of the DCT:
If your car is a manual and you don't have the software enabled, skip steps 1, 3, and 6. Seriously guys, that's about how useful the feature is

Now, for those who simply want to permanently deactivate it, do you know if it can be coded to "Off" without the need to first activate the setting in iDrive only to uncheck the box and never touch it again? |

I tried SPA_ENABLE and SPA_SPORT_ENABLE in KOMBI to see if it was possible to permanently get rid of just the small shift indicators, but that did not work. If I find anything, I will post an update.

On the other hand, if there is anybody who has the current gear indicator without the shift indicator and he can share his CAFD files, I can easily isolate the relevant code.

Mine tells me to get into 6th gear at 35mph. I...would rather not lol. I'm lucky to be out of 2nd at 35mph let alone anywhere near 6th. #shiftwheniwant

Yes, i have a manual... what i meant was, if the car was DCT and left in auto, it would find every opportunity to shift into the highest gear as soon as possible.. would be very annoying
