And since the iceman probably booked himself a holliday we're probably never going to find out.

I reckon the ICE is suffering ice COLD TURKEY. Have no doubt.
As soon as he gets to a PC he'll probably start reading the whole forum in its entirety from post #1. You'll get your answer.
BTW, thats how u got in to the menus. Press the odometer reset?

I think those codes that are displayed don't mean much -- at least to us. It was speculated a while back that you could determine the CIP software version using this method but nobody has ever figured it out (or they've concluded that the CIP information isn't there.) For what it's worth, you could display a similar set of codes using the same method on the E39.
Its likely that those codes are embedded in the instrument cluster only and have no connection to other parts of the car. The VIN is there because the cluster has to be "married" to the car -- probably because of the odometer.

I'm always working overtime. Most of the time i'm behind the computer from 6:00am - 12:00pm

In between I try to find some relaxation time.
Hint for the previous picture:
