<e30> obc (no more uhr!)

[Dale Beuning <dalus@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Last year I pulled the instrument cluster to change some 
light bulbs.  When I reinstalled it, the OBC had changed
to displaying in German and Metric.  Cute for a while,
it soon got old.  I was unable to find how to reset
the language in any of the online information.
Tonight I figured out how to change the language on my OBC.

This applies to my 1988 325is, and maybe your E30, but I 
don't think all E30 OBCs are identical.

1) Key in position 1 (obc lights up, radio has power)

2) press and hold small reset button to the right of the
   "1" button

3) press "AVG MPG" button to cycle through available options
   [ MPG | M/G | L:100 ]
   MPG = miles per gallon (da), all units are American
   M/G = ??miles/gallon, all unit are American
   L:100 = Liters per 100 kilometers, all units are German/Metric

4) release small reset button, press Time/Date button to set

5) say goodbye to "uhr"
