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.

You need to get your VIN number. I remember menu 1 once you get into this secret menu will show the last 7 digits of your VIN. Assuming it is B3XYZAB, I simply do X+Y+Z+A+B. Then whatever this sum turns out to be I just go to menu 19, and enter it there. As you can see, the max of X+Y+Z+A+B is 45 (all 9's). You can also try circulating through each of these numbers in menu 19. There are only 45 of them.

I saw test 7 was for coolant temp. Does this mean you can have a temp display on the idrive screen?
