"Clean Wipe" of the car pre selling..

matt_320d · 07-16-2018, 01:30 PM

so my F30 is being traded in for a shiny new 640d GC on wednesday...

It has the Pro Nav. It's laden with favourites, pre-sets, phone numbers, Mp3s etc etc...

I assume there's a "reset" function somewhere buried in the I-drive that I can just hit prior to handing the car over...

Does it wipe absolutely everything? anything additional I should do security wise?

Give these a go.

I'm not entirely sure that does it - reason being I had a loaner M40i the other weekend and wanted to expunge my data self :-)

I did the above sure, but I'm pretty sure that didn't do it. I had to also

a) Remove the phone from bluetooth devices (which removed the phonebook)
b) Go into Nav and clear previous addresses (

)

When I first saw the thread title I thought you meant an interior valet of the leather seats - LOL :-)
