    Default obc displaying incorrect info

    With regards to MPG. I know from past experience that it's never really spot on, but I also know that I'm not getting 50mpg in a 535i ... because I calculated it myself and it's around 21.

    Is there a way I can fix this or do I need a new obc?

    Thanks guys.

    Yes, the method is posted on m5board.com, I have it bookmarked on my home computer

    I just did a pretty serious search on there and couldn't find the thread, I'll post it when i get home

    Alright, I guess I should update:
    so I unlcked the obc and tried to increase the mpg coefficient ... thing is: you can't go higher than 1200. I left it at 1200 and it's still showing 26-27mpg ... I KNOW I'm not getting that. Oh well ... hopeless I guess lol
