Speedometer in km/h
Took my G01 x3 30i in for it's first oil change and a recall for a software update yesterday and there's a new option in the iDrive controls for a digital speedometer. I'm super excited about this because I'm tall and prefer the steering wheel low, so I basically can't see the top of the regular speedometer. I coded in the small digital speedo through bimmercode previously which appeared in the upper left corner of the digital display and this is now gone.
Problem: it's in km/h and I can't figure out how to change it. I haven't plugged bimmercode back in yet to determine if I can adjust through there yet. This is a fairly new recall / software update, so I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience and knows how to fix it. Yes I went through all the options in iDrive in the Units section. All of the rest of the displays are in freedom units. Sorry, no picture, it's my wife's vehicle and she has it at work. I'll snap one tonight if there's need.

Hahaha it's the rest of the world trying to tell you to adapt to proper units of measurements.

Sorry for the delay, but here are the photos. Dash showing the normal gauge in MPH, digital showing KPH. The setting is under "Instrument Panel" in the settings for iDrive. Last picture is the "Units" screen showing everything in freedom units... I'm baffled.

Nope, don't have that Digital Speedometer option on my 2019 IDrive 6, although I've just added the digi readout with bimmercode..

Two of you have different instrument cluster. Ops is the hybrid one, the other is full digital.
Try to change the units to kmh and back to mph. Maybe even restart iDrive immediately after the change.

Any idea how to change to kmh? If you see my photo above, that is ALL of the options in the Units menu. As best I can tell, there's no way to change to kmh, which I understand sounds SUPER dumb and probably user error and blah blah blah, but I've gone through EVERY menu multiple times, along with the digital manual and the paper manual, and there are no instructions and best I can tell, no way to change.

LOL, same... Wife took it in to the dealer and the iDrive Genius piddled around in the settings and couldn't find it.

My 2020 has the regular instrument cluster and I can enable the digital speedo in that same area (between dash and tach). And even though I am in the U.S. it defaults to KM. BUT, if I go to UNITS, I can alter the digital speedo from KM to MPH.
Problem is, when you turn car off for more than 1 minutes, and restart, it's back to KMs. Have to change it again in units. My dealer says instrument cluster needs to be replaced. To me, its very clearly a software thing. So I won't be going to that dealer if they want to tear apart the dash on my 3 week old car. |

I have NAV. All X3 models in the U.S. have NAV standard for 2020. They also updated the look of the "base" gauges I guess since the "upgrade" is now those Live Cockpit Pro gauges (not round anymore, like the new 3 series).
Can't snap a pic now, will try tomorrow. Basically you enable the digital speedo in Display settings and you toggle the KM/MPH in Dig Speedo UNITS where you would also change all the other units. The pic someone included here of Units is missing an option that I have called Dig Speedo. I was told I have ID7 - build date November 2020 in SC. |

Got it, thank you for the info, it is appreciated.
I heard from the dealer this morning and it's a programming thing that BMW hasn't released/finished yet. Sounds like they programmed in the digital speedo for my version, but forgot to give it an option for mph.

Picked up a 2020 on Saturday and I am having the same issue, resets to KM every time the car turns off. Dealer hasn't had any ideas to help.

This really cements it that it's a programming error that they rushed out. Oh well... it's not a critical thing, but a convenience.

Both corporate geniuses and local service manager told me it was a known issue and they are awaiting a software fix. Can't see how it could be that difficult of a fix.

This just keeps getting better. I took mine in for a problem with the Idrive screen dimming and they re-loaded in software.....and now the digital speedometer has completely disappeared. No path to get it back. As usual the service dept. and local/corporate geniuses are baffled.....with no answers.
