The contrast of the gauges are so poor that in certain lighting (dusk, dawn, moments of shadow by trees) they become illegible. It is exaggerated by wearing sunglasses. The current models have corrected this, but owners of 2016-2017 models (myself included) have no recourse. Straining to see the tachometer or speedometer is not safe!

Speedometer numbers are gray on a gray background making it very difficult to read in overcast conditions in the daytime. Can lead to improper speed relative to the posted speed. This is a design flaw and BMW has since corrected in 2018 versions of the car. There is an entire thread dedicated to this issue on a BMW enthusiast forum. I have attached a couple pictures.
