BMW Odometer showing miles

somedood · 2010-04-07 12:18:05

I have recently bought a 06 523i and the odometer is in miles (speedo in KMs). The Fuel consumption is is mpg and the distance to next fill is also in miles. Is there any way to change the readout from miles to Km?

This is exactly the way I have my Audi set at the minute. I assume you can simply change a setting on the computer/display for this.

I know on the E39 5 series, it was changeable, but the dealer had to do it for you.

Just figured it out there.
The iDrive lets you set units in either Vehicle settings or display settings.
I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer today!
