BC hidden menus
All BMW 3series cars of the E90, E91, E92 (and probably E93) family have hidden/service menus in the
Board Computer (BC)
Although on cars with iDrive, some of this information can be accessed in a more readable format
through the hidden iDrive menus

Accessing the menus

To access these hidden menus (or service menus), you have 2 options..

Option 1
1. Turn ignition on, or start your car
2. Press and hold the button to reset the daytrip/odometer for 10 seconds

Option 2
1. Press and hold the button to reset the daytrip/odometer
2. While keeping this button pressed, insert the keyfob into its slot, and release the button

At this point the BC should display data in a "XX.YY" format. So if the BC displays "01.00", that means
Main Menu 01, sub menu 00
To continue to navigate the menus, you need to use again the daytrip/odometer button (hereafter just
called 'button')
BC hidden menus - e90 Page 2 of 18

While the display reads XX.__ press the button repeatedly to select the main menu option (XX)

when reaching the desired main menu option, wait for 2 second for the display to read XX.00, at
this time pressing the button will select the sub menu (YY)

To go back to selection of a main menu (XX), press and hold the button for 2 seconds, until it
shows XX.__ again.

To leave the hidden/service menus press and hold the button for 10 seconds, or remove the
keyfob.

At this point, the available main menus are 01, 02 and 19. To access the remaining menus a code is
required.
This code can be found under menu 01.00 and needs to be calculated as follows from the Chassis
number
Say the number displayed is XX12345, you take the last 5 digits (12345 in this case), and add them all
up, so 1+2+3+4+5=15. Meaning your unlock code is 15.

To enter the unlock code, go to main menu 19, and wait until it asks for the unlock code. Now press the
button until it reads your unlock code (15 in our example), and the display will show 'lock: off'.
Now all menus are available

.. is probably short for "Fahrgestellnummer", which roughly translates to "Vehicle

Frame number" - i.e. VIN, as assumed.
