General topics » Display speed in miles multifunction display

I don't think the user can reset the speedometer from kph/mph mph/kph..........dealer job.

I believe you can change the satnav units from kph to mph and the reverse on the BMW Nav as well

Yep - when I'm in Europe I switch my Navigator V to km/hr, so I have both km/hr and mph displays available. Don't know if you can change the bike's built-in display, but even if you can I think this is a better solution anyway

On a related note - I've wondered if it's possible to change the tyre pressure readouts from bars to PSI? I don't know why that isn't the default when the bike's set up for the UK. (What do US bikes display?)

Yes, with the BMW Nav5 it is no problem to switch to mph, which will probably be my solution.

I saw a YT video where the biker numerically set the speed in the display (I've never set it that way, always r.p.m. counter).
I thought that it would be nice to see miles here, but I'm afraid Gordon is right, the user will probably not be able to change

But once again I wrote an e-mail to BMW, let's see if there was an engineer involved.
I already have a first answer, they have forwarded my mail to a specialist


By the way, Freddyfruitbat - where for heaven's sake is Great Britain if you change your navigator in Europe
( I just see we need a winking smiley )

Yeah digital display is locked and can only be swapped by a dealer. Shocking for a sports tourer.

I have uk bike where mph/psi would seem the standard but bmw think otherwise

TPM has always shown 2.5/ 2.9 on the dashboard and 82/84 for engine temp once it warms up.- I set one info screen for engine temp and one for tpm(which I loose when low fuel symbol gives me miles since/to zero).

Using in uk nav 5 set to mph when I use handlebar wheel to nudge back from map to 16 items the tyre pressure is in psi 36/42 and mph speeds, never had the bike display psi, only tpm bar

Across Europe I reset nav5 to kph and the sat nav gives the correct speed ie 80kph in Norway and France rural road limit.

Thats odd, my tyre pressure is in PSI came as that when I got the bike

It is odd that BMW doesn't provide an option to switch from metric to English units on the instrument display. That would seem very useful for anyone riding their BMW to different countries around the world. On my U.S.-made Zero electric motorcycle, all I have to do is to press a button or two to change between mph and kph.

It's very odd. I've owned KTMs in the past which have had this option and they were bikes that were far from suited to long distances.

The new TFT's are capable of changing mile to kms and PSi to Bar by user.

I'm sure you can change mph to kms on the 2015 on RS, i did touring Europe.

Ah, Just remembered, it was the Z1000SX
