M graphic and Video when starting car?

sealionbeast · 08-30-2012, 06:59 PM

When I picked up my car at the dealer and started it for the first time there was an M graphic and video on the NAV screen. I have not seen it since. In my Z4 there is also a BMW graphic that shows up when I start the car. Did anyone else or does anyone have the M video when car starts up? Maybe I accidentally shut it off?

Thanks

I noticed the same thing myself, I spent an hour last night trying to figure out how to get it back!!! No luck!! Let me know when you figure it out, I thought it was an awesome graphic. The M graphic does appear on heads up display.

put the car in M1 or M2 mode. Kill the engine. Restart and you'll see.

Yeh I just tried that again myself, it didn't work, the control screen brings up the same screen that was present when the car was turned off.

You may need to wait until the computer powers all the way down? In previous cars that was 10 minutes I think?

Every time I start the car I get the ///M graphic in the HUD.

No video though. Although I have disabled the disclaimer ...
