BMW E60 E61 hidden menu – procedure

1. BMW E60 E61 hidden menu – procedure

2. Press and hold trip reset button. Instrument cluster will show warning sign, next oil sign.

3. Release the button when FGSTNR appears on the display. After few seconds a 7-digit number will appear. Last 5 digits are also the end of your cars VIN.

4. Add up last 5 digits together (1+2+3+4+5=15).

5. Press and hold trip reset button until 01.__ is displayed, then immediately press trip reset button couple of times to navigate to position 19.__. “LOCK ON” will be displayed. After couple of seconds “CODE: 00” will appear.

6. Use trip reset button to enter your code (added up last 5 digits from 01.__ position).

7. Now the hidden menu is unlocked and you can browse all its tests.
