John (or anyone) - Out of curiosity, what do the 6 different distances which are shown represent ?
From my E36 archives (someday to be in FAQ form):

A German manual I have (Jetzt helfe ich mir selbst) says:
1 - Vehicle identification number 2 - Number for BMW internal use 3 -
Wegdrehzahl (something to do with the rotations) of the odometer (K-number) 4
- Software version 5 - Hardware version 6 - Index of changes
Well, I know that if you push the check control button and turn the
key to the two position, the Check control display on E32/34s after a certain
production date will show hardware numbers, etc, then test all the gauges and
lights. Try it at night, its a good show! Dont need to push the trip odo
button, just the check control button. Im not sure about E36s and on, I have
to try myself later on.
