I've recently acquired a 2001 4.6l 160kw P38 in Baku, Azerbaijan (so am also new to this forum). Most of the RRs here are newer models, Sports superchargers etc. reflecting wealth from the oil industry, there are very few cars of the same vintage as mine.
The car is LHD and originated from Germany, so the BeCM displays all its messages in German. Naturally I'd like to change that to English.
Dealer support in Azerbaijan is a bit suspect:
There is a Ford/Land Rover main dealer, but they don't seem to know very much about older cars. I visited but didn't feel that they had any special reason or knowledge why I should go there rather than to any other general mechanic/workshop
There is a BMW main dealer who may have had some training and equipment for older cars post take-over in 2002, I haven't tried yet.
So...any thoughts on how I might change the BeCM language (short of changing the BeCM itself for a UK one...).
I'm not mechanically minded myself, I usually get others to do things for me!
Thanks
Phil
