Hold down the km reset button and turn the key to first position (radio on) immediately release the button.
You will see a small display where the time/temp etc. usually appears.
Sequential presses of the button steps through this menu ie. 1,2,3,4,5 etc. up to about 21.
Add up the digits of the numbers printed on your window.
Go to position 19 on the menu and wait a second or two. Under lock you will see a position to enter the calculated number which you do by sequential presses of the button.
Once you get to your calculated number stop pressing the button and wait.
Menu goes back to position 1.
Now toggle through to say position 7. Once you get there wait a couple of seconds and you will then see 7.1, next press shows 7.2 etc. etc.
You will see that it displays, rpm, fuel consumption, battery voltage, current speed, core temp. etc. etc. etc.
Each menu has something different some meaningful some not so meaningful.
Those of you that understand German may be able to translate.
Good luck

HAHAHA thats really close or EXACTLLY the same as in the MINI Coopers and other BMWs... typical...
Instrument Cluster Test Functions
Some of these are just guesses based on the BMW E46 Cluster
Tests 1, 2, 10 & 19 are always unlocked.
Tests 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15 & 21 are only
accessible after unlocking the test functions.
See test 19 to unlock the functions
Code:
Test 1 - Vehicle Specific Data 1.0 319XX Last 5 of VIN 1.1 46463 Body Number 1.2 0 691872 BMW Part Number of cluster 6211-6918720 1.3 058712 Coding Index 05 / Diagnostic Index 87 / Bus Index 12 1.4 0702 Manufacturing Date (Calendar Week / Year) 1.5 1 05_150 Cluster Hardware 05 Cluster Software 15 AI Level 01 (ai level is a guess) 1.6 _ _ _ 0 _ _ Don?t Know. Any Ideas? 1.7 07_ _ 10 CAN Index 07 Modification Index 10 ?(Just a guess based on the cluster label. Yes I removed the cluster) Test 2 ? Cluster System Test 2.0 Sequential test of all gauges indicators and LED segments. Kind of funky to watch. Test 3 ? Don?t know. I think it has something to do with service intervals 3.0 ? ?_ _ 0785 This seems to increase as I drive. ? ?_ _ 0051 ?? Test 4 ? Momentary fuel consumption 4.0 _ _ _ 061 6.1 L/100 Km 4.1 _ _ _ _ 48 4.8 L/Hour Test 5 - Distance Gone Consumption 5.0 _ _ _ 082 8.2 L / 100 Km 5.1 _ _ _ 351 351 Km to empty? Test 6 ? Fuel Level. These all seem to have something to do with the fuel level as far as I can tell. 6.0 142113 Both the third and sixth digits varied at a stand still so I think there are two separate readings packed in here. Are there two fuel sensors? Are there two tanks? 14.2 L & 11.3 L? 6.1 _ _ _ 260 Again, varies with fuel level. 26 L total? 6.1 1_ _ _ 270 In the BMW E46 the 1 indicates both sensors are okay. 2 Indicates 1 sensor fault. Test 7 ? Temperature and Speed 7.0 _ _ _ 087 Coolant Temperature 7.1 _ _ _ 025 Outside Temperature 7.2 XXXX Engine RPM 7.3 _ _ _ 099 Vehicle Speed KPH Test 8 ? Hex Code Cluster Inputs/Outputs? 8.0 ? 8.3 Test 9 ? Battery and Charging system. 9.0 13.8 Battery Voltage 9.1 - - - - - - No idea! 9.2 - - - - - - No idea! 9.3 - - - - - - No idea! Test 10 - No Idea 10.0 - - - - - - ? ? 10.1 - - - - - - ? ? 10.2 5 691872 ? ? 10.3 028612 ? ? 10.4 _ _ 0702 ? ? 10.5 004 _ 090 ? ? 10.6 - - - - - - ? ? 10.7 07 _ _ 07 ? ? Test 11 - 11.0 _ _ _ _ _ 7 ? ? 11.1 000000 ? ? Test 12 ? Does not exists Test 13 ? Gong Test 13.0 Sounds the cluster gong Test 14 - ? 14.0 672000 ? ? 14.1 000000 ? ? 14.2 000000 ? ? 14.3 000000 ? ? 14.4 000000 ? ? Test 15 ? Bit maps of some vehicle options/switches inputs? Outputs? Test 19 ? Test Function Lock/Unlock 19.1 The display will change from ?L-on? to ?L-off? very second. To unlock all of the test functions press the trip reset button as soon as you see the ?L-off? Test 21 - Reset 21.1 Reset the cluster software

this isn't fake? Lol awesome. Now if someone could find that "hidden iDrive menu" which tells the version number........ ><-TPG

In submenu I think 1.6, I have software version stated as 49.50.02. I remember someone mentioned his SA referred to the version using 49 and 50, rather than 13.2 or 14 or whatever.
Test 2 is indeed funky to watch. You can see speedometer maxed out, and the white bars on the tachometer rolled back to 4000+ rpm, and some of the icons changing colours...

Skaffa,
It may be possible but there is the reset which sets everything back again.
Only negative affect is that it zeros your trip meter and asks you to re-enter your time and date.

Gave it one more try just now. Managed to unlock the menu.
The pass code is the sum of the last **5** digits of your VIN which is shown in menu 1.0. Mine is B3XYZAB. I just added up XYZAB, and keyed in this sum in menu 19.
A few of the submenus are quite clear what they are but couldn't understand majority.
Mine is a Right-Hand-Drive 7/2004 E60.
