Factory reset?

james d · 02-28-2021, 09:06 AM

Picking up a G21 M340 tomorrow and a pal is buying my F31 340 on Tuesday.
Is it possible to reset everything to how it left the factory so it's easier for him to add all his favourites/nav detinations/radio stations etc?
Thanks in advance

Think the dealers do that in an approved one I would have thought.

You would think so, especially with GDPR rules. The dealer i bought my AUC from in 2019 never wiped the car. Previous owners home destination was still on the car.

That’s poor.

Pop round the previous owners house and say Hi.

Wouldn't that just be on the V5 anyway though ?

Friend who traded in his 440i still had access through connected app months later.

Managed it easy enough after advice from the Genius at my dealer. Hold down buttons 1&8 to remove favourites. Other features go th Options and delete appears and deleted all private data through profiles.

Not anymore, likely due to GDPR.
