: Hello everybody! You have a nice forum here, glad i found it! I just purchased a black -92 850i, and I'm just getting in to the the world of 'engineering art'! I have a few questions:
: 1. How do i change the language on the 'computer'. It's in German right now...(so are all the buttons, but i guess I can't change those :-) ) I remember seeing instructions for this long ago on the net, but I just can't find it any more..
: 2. The valve for directing airflow to the feet seems to be broken, I can't seem to get any air down there? Is there some way to test this, is it hard to fix? (Maybe the problem is the operator ;) )
: 3. Seems like the cooling water level is constantly low, not causing an alarm, but under the markings. I tried to fill it up, but after one day of driving, it was on the same level again. Can this be a leak in the radiator etc., or is it expansion in the system pushing the water out (overpressure), maybe because of airpockets in the system? I tried another 850 too, and that one also had a low level in the 'expansion vessel'.
: I'm sure i'll have a lot more to ask as i learn more about the car, but this is all for now.

With the key in position 1 with the doors closed press and release the 1000 and the 10 simultaneously on the OBC. It should respond with something to the effect of “test nbr:” (although I have no idea what this is in German :-) ). Press and release the 10 key. Press and release the 1 key. Press and release SET/RES. USA is 1 so press and release the 1000 key until the display reads “1 US”. Press and release the SET/RES keys again. You should now see English.
As for the water levels and such, I have no experience with this.
Good luck with your new car!!
