Hi guys,


I just bought a 2005 545i to replace my 2000 Lexus GS 400, I live in montreal quebec canada, and bought the car from Cali, does anyone know if it is possible or how to, change the HUD from mp/h to km/h?

please let me know, not that it is a huge problem but it is messing with me, since i find myself speeding most of the time! lol

Regards

The whole car, in terms of units (km vs mls) should be set in the iDrive. As I recall, press the iDrive button down and you will see a list of options for car settings. Should be buried in there, but it's been so long since I've played with that part, can't recall the exact steps... Dig around, you'll find it.

It is possible that the redesigned E60 models are different but I had no problem making sure my HUD displays km/h. It was not a separate setting. I simply set units to km.

This is what I do:
Press the iDrive button, select display options, then select distance/units.
