I've recently bought an X5 4.8is and the computer is in FRENCH ! Sacre blue !! Instead of saying Hour it says "Heure" etc.

I've looked through the booklet on the computer and it says that I should be able to change the language--but I cannot find it--there does not seem to be a heading for it.

Anyone got any ideas????

On my '05 3.0d , you go into the OBC screen and select SET in bottom left corner .

This opens up a menu starting with MPG reset I think .

If you then scroll all the way to the bottom , it'll 'turn' to a new page which has

SCREEN , CLOCK , DATE , NAVI VOLUME , COLOUR SET and lastly at the bottom

LANGUAGE .

Press the volume button to enter and then scroll across to English .

If for any reason this doesn't work , you can also change the language in the 'hidden'

OBC menu that you get to via the indicator stalk , but I can't remember the procedure

for that off the top of my head as it's such a long time since I did it !!

Tried both of those but cannot get any menu which says "change language".

Anyone got any more ideas?----Take it to a main dealer?

Sorted !!!! It was the SATNAV- I had changed it so that it picked up all Speed cameras--reversed it back so that no speed cameras detected and hey presto!!!

Job done !!!
