Three Trip?

muckypup · 11-27-2015, 10:39 AM

I am a bit confused by the tip counter on my F31.

On the main dash I have the overall mileage (443) and a trip counter (425)?
In iDrive when I select vehicle info and trip computer I see a trip counter but it seems to be different (390). Are these different trips?

Also anyone know what the time shown is next to the clock and arrow icon?

Two trip computers.

one on your idrive shows time you started driving - with the clock and arrow (since you last reset it) the actual length of time you have driven - stopwatch icon (15h:59mins) and the average speed over that "journey"

You can reset it for each "journey"

in a nutshell - they are independent trip counters

So how do I reset the 425 trip? I can't find anything in idrive.

Button in the clocks - below the speedo

Tried that. Spent 15 minutes looking at the manual in idrive and could not find anything. Built in manual is rubbish.
