Change HUD Speedometer to KPH

I'm on ED right now and I can figure out how to change the digital speedometer displayed on the HUD from MPH to KPH? Did any of you that have done ED figure out how to change it, if so how did you do it?

Thanks.

It is in I-drive settings, poke around a bit, you will find it.
HUD and the digital number on the dash are changeable separately.

I am in the same position as i3. I've also poked around the idrive quite a bit and have yet to find it...

Gotten used to doing the double-think each time but it is tiring...

That said, those that are confident it is there that want to post the explicit menu steps to get to the setting would get a thumbs up.

I am doing ED right now and am not at all bothered by things being displayed in mph on the display. I actually love the fact that the car is able to convert road posted speed limits in kph into mph on the HUD display.

Okay, here is the deal... It's an indirect value change that will shift the HUD to metric. You need to go into settings and change the 'distance' units to kilometers. Not enough to just change the unit for speed to kph.

After that, the HUD will update.

NY, be careful as the HUD's speed limit sign if showing mph when reading Euro signs will round up/down within 5mph. This can very annoying firm me. But, if you are cool with it, then thanks!
