Is it possible to get the remaining fuel range above the mileage counter?

Is it possible to get the overall range of fuel remaining above the mileage counter? I know in my E90 this was possible, but F25 seems to be only in the iDrive screen. I highlighted the area in white. in the photo below.

Certainly on our Aussie-spec 2011 F25 you can. Press the button in the end of the lights stalk-thingy. This is the left-hand one on our RHD car not sure if its the other way around for LHD - I suspect not. Pressing the button multiple times cycles through a number of display options, one of which is the distance to empty.

Tony - Thank you from me too. I'd inadvertently managed to reset the display on our other BMW and couldn't work out how I'd done it. Looking at the average mpg was very depressing. Much better now to have miles to next fill up. Thank you

In case anyone else is confused, this is the button brissim is referring too.
