How to see the temperature on the BMW 1 Series E87

Model: BMW Serie 1 E81, E82, MK 1, E87 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Onboard computer

In this video we can see how to view the temperature of our BMW 1 Series E87 version, unlocking a hidden menu on the onboard computer: we need to insert the key, but without turning on the ignition, then we press - and hold down - the button on the left of the speedometer, which is used to reset the partial kilometers. At a certain point on the display, the vehicle code will appear, which is obtained by adding the numbers starting from the second digit. Continuing to press, we make the number 19 appear on the upper display; the message "Lock on" will appear: we enter our code number which in this case is 24; we continue to hold down until a message appears and then we select menu 7 and it will give us the engine temperature.
