Canadian Speedometer

Do the Canadian model e90s show both KMs and Miles, or just KMs? (Hoping it has the mph inset in the smaller font, since I drive down to the US a fair bit).

Canadian E90's show just KM's.

That is pretty lame... all North American cars should have both imo...

Can you at least set the digital readout to display current speed in mph ?

I do not drive to the US very often but a quick approximate conversion is 60mph=100kmh, 30mph=50kmh, and 50mph=80kmh.

Is that not good enough and easy enough to remember? At least this way the speedometer gauge is kept neater and cleaner looking.

Yah its not like I can't do the conversion in my head (which is what I will be doing now), I am just used to being lazy since every car I have ever owned has shown both. I noticed the US models show both km and mph, so I am just a bit surprised ours don't.

Thanks
