    Just got a new Euro M5, help please?

    Alright, so my buddy just broke down and bought a E34 M5. It has about 200k on the motor, but this thing is beautiful. I got a question... The in dash computer reads in Italian... How can I change it to English? The mods he is looking at is a chip first off, then maybe an exhaust package. It already runs Bilstien/H&R's all the way around. $4,000 can you believe it? Gotta love Europe. Oh yeah... about my friend, he used to be a hardcore Japanese car guy, he's got a Skyline that hauls ass. Once he got over here to Italy and made a couple runs against some real German cars he changed his mind. That's wht I mean when I say he broke down and got an M5... nice.

    Chip: Inquire with this guy and see if he has a chip that will work for this situation:

    Can't find OBC numbers

    First of all, I'm in Catania, Sicily. Land of pizza and catholic Italian women. Alright, I checked out the site on the OBC, and it's for a 7 series, none of the codes or processes work on my Italian version of the M5. The keypad is in Italian even. I'm thinking about hitting up the dealer for this one, but that means I have to mortgage my house or something cuz Italian bimmer dealers want $$$$. Actually they want €€€€.
