Odometer

Kind of feel stupid for asking this, but how do you get the odometer to show up in the display? I got it to show once by pressing the BC button on the stalk, but I can't get it to show up again. What is the Rubik's cube of settings you need to always show it? Currently, the spot that once showed it shows the current street name.

Keep toggling through the BC button. You should see it. If there's a way to permanently have it fixed I would like to know too. Still getting to know the car.

Not a stupid question. I just realized how to imprint the nav / map screen in the central display. Only been 6 months

Yeah, I see the BC button changing the right widget and one of them is trip details. I swear I saw the odometer one time in the center on the bottom, where the current street is listed. I was trying to find that again. I like the M settings to be displayed on the right widget section. I guess I can't display both. Not sure it's a big deal, just a little weird.

You did see the odometer at the bottom of the display, however, Ive only seen it there, when you turn off the car.

Ah, maybe that was it! Thanks.

That seems to be it, besides hitting the BC button a few times.

Can't figure that out either. Good question.

I think I only see it maybe when I turn the car on or off. Maybe it's there if you cycle through the displays too.

It's on the trip display option from the BC button. Also, the right-side display that the BC button controls is settable in both M Mode and standard independently. I have tire pressures visible in M Mode and Trip display in normal mode.

I see you have the answer to your question above, but here's a weird thing I noticed once or twice: what the odometer says in the trip display vs. what the odometer says when you turn off the car could be off by 1 mile

Non-consequential I know but weird.

I am not sure but I think this is because the number it shows when you shut down the car is the total number of kilometers since the car was built.
The one displayed on the right side of the display shows the number of kilometers since the last reset, or in case you didnt reset, since the factory reset, which may not be the exact same cypher.

No I'm not talking about the trip km/miles, I'm talking about total odometer miles. I'll see if I can replicate the issue and take pics or even a video.

I didn't dig into it but I'm guessing maybe one of them rounds up when it hits xxxx.9 for example or maybe it's a conversion from km to miles... Weird but I could've sworn I noticed it twice!

MSpain I'm not going crazy

BMW App also says 1,202 miles
