Eco pro coding

Hi all, Bit of a different one. Does anyone know how to code out the blue +mileage form the instrument cluster when in eco pro mode? I know I can just press the BC button but I want to code the car to start in Eco pro and I have the digital speedo, so I just want to be lazy and not have to press the BC button every time.

Unless you have the Efficient Dynamics model I think that coding to start in Eco Pro mode causes an error. It threw a DSC error on my 320i so I hastily uncoded it. ISTR that others have reported the same.

Just as a bit of a fuel saver. The car only does 24 miles a day during the week, so just wanted to see if it would be more efficient.

From memory, you can select what appears in the display on the iDrive settings (I think its removing the Eco jobby display?). Cant remember if it removes the blue miles saved display but it does remove the Eco meter where the radial mpg usually appears. IDrive 5 btw.

Yeah on mine it only removes the eco meter and not the blue miles display. Its not biggy, just wondered if it could be done.
