| Instrument pod diagnosis: Turn off the ignition. Push and hold down the trip odometer button reset button on the speedometer. Turn the ignition key to position one (first detent) while holding the reset button. This may take a few attempts. First the DME will display a few of its internal registers in the mileometer LED space. Next all the gauges on the dash will cycle from zero to full scale deflection and back again while all the warning lights illuminate. You'll see the speedometer indicate 160mph! Registers displayed are: Vehicle Identification Number Number for BMW internal use Number of wheel rotations needed to make up one kilometer Software version Hardware version Index of changes This was taken from dtmpower.net in the E36 section of Tech Talk.
