F30 Hidden Menu Demo
LATEST EDIT: Good news is, my video has been fully reinstated on YouTube after I contested its removal so I hope this guide helps you!
EDIT: Try this for video: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42805365/00004.MTS Recordings of my UK 328i doing stuff always seems to have gone down well (been on the homepage a few times! ) so I thought it about time for some more! So I've taken a video of the "hidden" service menu on the Black Panel Display and its various menus/functions once unlocked, which is done by entering the sum of the last 5 digits of your VIN. "To bring up this menu, press and hold the trip reset button between 10-12 seconds, with engine or ignition on. Ignore the engine oil reset opportunity and keep the button held until the menu appears. Press the trip reset button to navigate. Hold the trip reset button to enter and exit menus." If you want any other videos, do please give me a shout! My car's spec is in the link on my signature if you're after a specific feature, but it's got most stuff aside HUD. I'm going to try and get some more of High Beam Assistant doing some very cool stuff tonight, but I don't have a mount (and/or a GoPro!) so I can never take the most stable or professional looking video - but I'll try my best! My YouTube name is the same as here, SomeRandomer123. Enjoy!

That's right! Yeah you can't do much else really once you're in the menu. Which is good - saves me from bricking the car

Looks like default value is 1000. Mine reads 3-5% high. |

mine ended up being 1410 and my estimate was too low I.e. optimistic edit: apparently it's the same in mpg. When the setting is on imperial the car takes that into account. A/E x 1000

My indicated MPG was averaging 4% higher than actual, so I set the corrector to 960 ( (29.1/30.3)*1000 ).
I'll need a few tanks to verify that it's closer to actual and make further adjustments if needed. Changing the value is easy, just push and hold on the correction display and it lets you change the 1's digit, then push and hold. Repeat for 10's, and 100/1000's (they are set together ranging from 07 to 12). |

Great, the fucking YouTube Nazi's have muted the video because having some music on whilst I record a video for you guys infringes copyright. What is this world coming to?
So there - you can sit and enjoy my hidden menu guide in complete and desolate silence. First class wankers. I'll just hum a tune next time. Mind you, somebody else will have hummed it first so that'll be muted for copyright too...

Yeah, just disputed it and got the audio back - for now. Will upload it to Dailymotion as you say or something like that next time!

Yes, though each model varies to some degree.

Thanks for the video and the info!
By the way, if you like that version of the song, the original is by Fleetwood Mac and is pretty good too. |

Isn't that song a cover of the same title done by Fleetwood Mac in the 1970s? Sure sounds like it.
Great video!

That's right! In fact, Stevie Nicks sang it with Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters gang in a small gig earlier this year in the US somewhere.
