How do you change the fuel consumption reading?

Right now mine shows 7 KM/L.
I want it to be shown in X L/100 KM.

If you car doesn't have iDrive then use the use the radio system to change the fuel consumption units to whatever you want

- hit 'Menu' the choose 'Config' etc.

- All European cars have l/100km as an option (the most commonly used in Metric countries). Fuel consumption is normally expressed in this unit in brochures, magazines etc.
- mpg for the UK (and some Irish people prefer it because that is what they are used to from the old days)
- km/l (not sure how often this is used in metric countries)

If you don't have i-drive, scroll thru the menu of the OBC while your car is stopped by clicking the dial on the left stalk. Once you reach Settings, then press in the button at the end of the left stalk, then click the dial again until you reach the gas consumption menu.
