Copied from another thread:

"You can change it to ENGLISH from German by pressing the AVG MPG button and then using a pen, pin, paper clip to push the little recessed button in the lower right hand corner. It should cycle through language options"

Ok, have I missed something? What exactly is displayed in German and should be in English? I thought the only language option on the E30 OBC is the permanent writing on the buttons. Are we talking about switching between liters/100km and MPG or...?

The units are in metric and i don't use them because people can confuse u with being french.

That would re-set the OBC, it always re-sets to German annoyingly!

Here's a copy of the instructions that may help...copyright of BMWAG of course! :oops:
