speedo in kph, any option to see in mph anywhere?

TS263G · 09-17-2023, 02:37 PM

hi! just got ourselves a 2017 BMW X1, so learning it's features is still a work in progress. i'm in canada, so speedo is in kph; is there any feature or setting that will show mph in the instrument cluster, or screen, or HUD? we cross the US border regularly for shopping, and would like to know our speed in mph.

if there is, i'd appreciate any guidance.

thanks.

Yes…depending on which options/features you have. If you have a digital instrument cluster you can go into SETTINGS & change unit of measure to what you want.

Again, depending on which instrument cluster & options you have (can’t do it if it is all analog).
