Thumbs down Analog clock in dash
Tried to find another thread about this, but my brief search uncovered nothing that would make me not want to start a new rant.

I really hate the analog clock in the dash. It eats up valuable space that could be better used. Oil temp gauge, perhaps? I'm sure we could think of something better than an analog clock.

Thanks for listening to me rant.

The analong clock is one of the most archaic and outdated features of this car. I hate it as well

I sold my W212 2010 E63 for this reason and this reason only.

I do agree with you guys- a big waste of space that is not taken up with the MY 2012.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
As we all know, it's to continue the tradition, per MB.

Yes, indeed. The CLS did away with it. I really wish the E did too. It's still there for 2013.

Yeah. *sigh*

I was hoping they'd do something subtle and useful in 2013.
