Out of interest, what more information do you think you need that isn’t on the current display?I could be seriously tempted by this. I like simplicity but the M3 is just a bit too Spartan for me, and even more importantly a single screen, however large, can only display a very limited amount of information at any one time.
I won’t bother for my present M3 because I’ll be getting rid of it in 2 years, but it’s certainly something to bear in mind.

That was sort of my pointI'd want oil pressure and oil temperature and maybe turbo boost pressure. Be nice to have AFR as well

Mind you, I wish they did that super-duper CANBUS app that tells you all sort of parameter for iOS as well.
There is something cool about knowing voltages, temperatures, flows, etc
You’ve answered my question! However, my wish is not necessarily to show information which isn’t already available, it’s the fact that you can show very little of it at any one time on a single screen. Stabbing at the screen with my left hand at 70mph isn’t ideal.

Sorry to labour on the point, but the usual information you're likely to need on an ordinary drive is all there?
Temperature is on the screen? You will get a window washer fluid alert when it starts getting low.Window washer fluid level and temperature, especially with winter coming up
Sorry to labour on the point, but the usual information you're likely to need on an ordinary drive is all there? Speed, temperature, Speed Limit, Navigation, Mobile signal strength, driving profile, instant charge/discharge status.....
I'm genuinely curious as to what you need to change screens for whilst driving
The Mini was first launched in 1959. It's been produced on and off for the last 61 years. I can't ever remember anyone complaining that the centre-mounted speedo dial was either dangerous or inconvenient.
At the time the Mini was launched many cars on the road in Britain had a speedometer mounted in the centre of the dash, or close to it. Cars that preceded the Mini, like the Morris Minor, Austin A30, Ford Prefect, etc all had instruments in, or near, the centre of the dash, so when the Mini came out it just followed that pattern, as it was what people were used to.
Instrument binnacles that placed instruments in front of the driver didn't start to come in on everyday cars until the late 1950's, early 1960's, and was probably an idea shipped over from the USA. They'd switched to instruments in front of the driver in the 1950s, and 1960's British car design seemed to borrow lots of cues from American cars.
