    Default English/German information display

    I've just bougth a 525 e34, and have some trouble reading the information display. The bmw is imported from Germany. And someone told me once that it was easy changing the language from German to English... Is it? And how?

    My second problem is the inspection ligth: It turnd orange this week and going red in a while.. I'v done the inspection my self, oil change and that. But how do i reset the inspetion light?

    I'm glad for all answers (even wrong.. )

    Greeting from Norway!

    And sorry, my English is like the German, poor...

    Changing the OBC language:
    The OBC language of the car will sometimes reset itself to German. To change it to whatever you like try this:
    1. Turn the ignition to position 1.
    2. Hold the CC button down for 10 seconds. Then the next language will appear.
    3. Repeat this procedure untill you have the desired language.
    The available languages are: Engish UK, English US, French, German, Italian, Spanish



    If you want to change the language of the OBC too, you have to unlock it. Details here

    Also see my website for other repair tips.
    If you speak German as good as English, also visit the German E34 site www.e34.de
    Under Schrauberecke they have a lot of good tech tips.

    SI reset:

    There is also a online owners manual available on this site. Use the search on top. Also a online parts catalog, type in " online ETK ".
