OBC behavior

[rph]

Could someone please confirm one way or another if the E34 On Board Computer display normally returns to its default position -- hours and minutes -- about 3-5 seconds after another function such as range or temperature has been selected, or whether it remains displaying the selected function until another function is selected, or the ignition is turned off? My current E34 does not revert to the default setting by itself until the ignition is switched on again, but I seem to recollect previously owned E34s did in fact return to hours and minutes after a few seconds -- or did I just dream it?

All of mine have always stayed on the chosen function until I either turn off the car or press a button for another function.

rph: It looks like you had a dream.
Also see owners manual.

mine always stays on the selected function

Okay, thanks. Dreaming it was. I couldn't see anything in the owner's manual to change the way it behaves either.

Sorry, would have said you were dreaming. (E32 and E34 seem to be the same FYI)
