Low resolution of center console

Picked up used 2021 BMW X5 xDrive45e, first thing I noticed is the resolution of center console. The resolution is not as sharp/crisp as my 2020 X3, even the rear and front camera resolution is not as crisp as my X3. Have anyone noticed this. Is it because of slightly larger dsiplay in X5.

Maybe you have a defective screen. I have never thought the display looks bad in any way. I'm pretty picky when it comes to screens and displays.

yeah something must not be right with your display. I have never felt for a moment that the center display wasn't crisp. Maybe go to your dealer and look at other models on the floor to compare?

Take it in to get looked at, the display should be crisp and clear. Here is a thread from the other week that was started because the display looked so good.

The screen in my 22 45e puts the one in my 20 X3MC to shame.

Thanks for the replies. To clarify, the camera view (front and rear) when parking/reversing is not as crisp as in X3 (looks like 780p instead of 1024p). May be I will take the vehicle for a wash to clear out any dirt on the cameras.

Try the panorama view, the cameras in X5 is sharper than X3 for sure.

Get a soft, damped microfiber rag and gently wipe the lenses on the 4 cameras on your X5 (front, rear, and side mirrors). Then you'll find out right away if it was the dirty camera(s).

Attaching a sample image from the rear camera. Surely its blurred. Dealer checked, wiped and said all good!. Let me know if your rear cams have same resolution.
