 I have it somewhere, but WHERE is the question... How do I reset my
OBC to English and set the time/date?

CR,
The manual explains how to set the clock and the calendar, but is silent on
the language. That is, I think it's silent on changing the language.

 Thanks for the reply but do you think I'd be asking if I had the
FSUCKING manual? Sure isn't as friendly here as it was 7 months ago...

Setting the Clock and the Date is as simple as holding the respective button
until the message says INPUT TIME or INPUT DATE, then use the 1000, 100,10,
and 1 buttons to input the new data. The trouble is getting the display to
read in English. It is just a matter of holding some buttons while switching
the ignition to ON, but not START. I don't recall which buttons need to be
held.

 Thanks Jeff, I did manage to find the information on one of the
unofficial BMW sites. OBC now reads correctly (to me at least). Now I
just need to get the correct coding plug for it. The one in it now is
from a 535. Not good for the range function or MPG...
