>>I too like the position and size of the speedo. If Mini PR is to be believed, it is not only homage to original design but functional because horizontal eye movement is less distracting from the road than looking down. As far as the tach., my only disappointment is that I have anthracite interior and the tach is silver. Wish they'd "gone all the way" with anthracite so it matched too. That's a small thing though.
