I recently had my car repaired and it cost me a bundle (around $22K ). After getting my car back, everything was fine except the units at the odometer are now English instead of SI. how can i change it to SI units (Km)?

Off the top of my head, press down on the Idrive knob and there will be a display settings option where you can set the units for consumption, distance, temp etc.

The above is exactly correct; never tried it though.
Just curious what kind of repair could cost that much, with a car, presumably, still in warranty? (in either KM or miles ;->) Your mention of the high price piqued my curiosity.
