Itll depend on whether you have the red or white MFD i think mate

I tried but couldn't find it..will try again in case I missed it..I pressed 0.0 for few seconds and it brings digital speedo in mph and not in kmh??!!!

Mine has white MFD, I keep hitting the top right button on the right hand side of the steering wheel (The menu change one) until I get to the stats one with consumption, distance, range etc. and one of those is digital speedo in km/h, pick which one with the right hand side steering arrows.
If yours is red MFD though, no idea. If it's only coming up in mph maybe try getting into the setup menu, same sort of instructions as above.

Yeah - there's no digital speedo in the red MFD. I think the white MFD was a MY10 thing - though I'm probably wrong.

Correct, MY10 = white MFD and factory MDI plus possible DSG revision, MY10.5 = updated climatronic. One of the two also introduced more options, eg. radar cruise.

Yes I have red MFD as MY09..I found digital speedo under Kufatec menu where other things r listed too such as oil temp etc..but its not accurate it shows 6km/h less than actual speed! also each time I start the car, I lose it and I have to set it up again..it does show speedo where the odometer reading is but only in mph, not in kmph

Is your red MFD a factory-standard model?

I have a 2008 R36 - that doesn't appear to have any of these options in the MFD (though I've just assumed they weren't there).

Kufatec is the Bluetooth unit you have installed. Quite possibly this is an aftermarket unit.

Mine's a MY09 Upgrade. It comes with the white MFD. The white MFD starts out from MY09 Upgrade versions.

So, if I upgrade my Bluetooth unit, I will not only get better Bluetooth sound (the standard signal is, well... crap to be frank), but I'll also have digital speedometer & oil pressure etc?

How much and who do I pay?

You would have to find the details of the specific BT unit as this is definitely not a standard feature.

The other option which gives all these features and more is an AutoPolar FIS+. This will display 100+ engine parameters in your MFD, allow adjustment of a number of comfort settings (usually only available via VCDS) and supports mirror dipping in reverse gear if your car doesn't have this feature as standard.

There's a number of people running these interface boxes (including myself). Though this won't solve your BT quality.
