I drove to Chicago and back to Nashville knowing the Imola was clean, safe and not in the torrential downpours all through Indianapolis.
This might be sad, but I intentionally hid the car ZHP key somewhere a robber couldn't easily find it, in case someone broke in and robbed us over the weekend.

I'm probably what one would consider a biased source, but honestly you get used to the speedometer differences pretty quickly. It's a bit of a compressed range, but not so much so that you can't accurately tell what speed you're driving. For the RPM gauge, I honestly think it's better since you can actually see the needle approach the redline in your peripheral vision
I actually find it easier with the ZHP gauge because I know that when it's at the end (judging by the angle of the needle at 7k RPM), I'm about to run out of revs, which is especially useful on track for the occasions that I can't hear my engine (louder car being in front, for example). With the M3 gauges, I imagine there would be a lot of looking for those that don't typically see redline on a regular basis. This is one of the reasons I get messed up when I drive my friend's E36 M3 (I always ask for permission to redline) - it cuts off at a weirder needle angle than I'm used to seeing so I end up bumping the limiter when I shouldn't have. Just a visual trick.
A visual trick you get used to quickly.
I have to rely on needle position for both gauges since I can't see the numbers without reading glasses. It took me a week or two to get used to it NBD
