Any of you techies our there could elighten me on hidden menu's i'd appreciate is...
i see various postings on this about the 5's i-drive etc.. can anyone post what they are and how to get to them..
i know if you hold the odometer reset in and then turn to ignition position 1 the odometer box on the dash starts displaying all sorts of stuff .. on my old Z3Mcoupe it also maxed all the dials at the same time...
Anyone enlighten me what all the numbers are dispalyed on the E60 when i do that..

I have come across this on a German Forum:
http://img191.exs.cx/img191/8757/geheimmen6tj.jpg
They say that there are up to 19 hidden Main Menus and 3 submenus showing software stand(?),production date, chassis No, KI Test, digital Tacho,Tank Fill,Fuel cosumption pero/100km and per/hour, etc.
The three main active menus are:
1.0 Vehicle data
2.0 KI Test
19.0 Other Data
I havn't tried it myself coz I am not particularly interested.

[/quote]my German seems a little better so:
they are all talking about the hidden menu reached when putting ignition in position 1 and holding the odoreset till menu appears in top screen between tachos
they are discussing what can be found were since it's only indicated by brief codes
not that useable seems
maybe someone could hack into the computermenu and creats his om hidden stuff that can stay on during driving with usefull info on the big screen
maybe BMW hires a real expert giving us the real experience of a truly sportscar
acceleration can be measured by noting takeoff and clocking 100kmph of 60mph
kwestie van een goed initiatief bij die lamzakken die maanden nodig hebben om een simpel computerprogramma te schrijven en te updaten
grtZ
ps: last sentence is dutch... rara

Dictionary.com translates your Dutch to: question of a good initiative at those pockets which months necessary have to a simple write and update computer programme.
