Default BRAND NEW Rover 75 Digital Speed Readout

I gave a new life to my car and upgrade it with speed on trip computer

btw - speed on LCD can be enabled on ANY Rover 75 without affecting anything else

Very interesting - fuel consumption screen remains too.

Erm, how did you do it?

You just need BMW Scanner 1.40 from PASoft with interface, it can be bought on ebay or aliexpress and then just go to IKE (IPK) programming and change the byte at $00A8 to 21 in EEPROM

I doubt since it was only the option for V8 and you would loose avg fuel consumption option. this way you get both options enabled
