The mpg in my instrument cluster and iDrive console is inaccurate. How can I adjust the displayed figure?

I see the thread, but not the answer to my question. Where can I adjust the mpg calibration?

I assume that you mean that your calculated mpg (e.g fulltank to fulltank mileage)does not agree with the displayed average.MPG can be displayed in US gallons or Imperial gallons (as in UK).You choose the desired one in idrive by selecting settings and units.If that is not the problem,make sure you re-set mpg to zero before doing a manual calculation.
