2020 R1250RS tomorrow!

Wish the miles would reset each day on a trip automatically like it does on the old dash.

Would post a screenshot from my phone, but too clunky on this forum...

"If Automatic reset has been selected, the travel on-board computer is automatically reset if at least 6 hours have passed since the ignition was switched off and the date has changed"

This is on GS/GSA, TFT functions are very similar.

That's how it works on my 1250 RS. But the 1200 has three trip meters, Trip 1, Trip 2, and Auto Trip on the Nav. The 1250 TFT has only two trip meters: Trip 1 is reset manually, Trip 2 can be auto reset or manual reset. The Auto is as described by Vroom and that is like the Auto Trip on the old RS.

So right now I have Trip 2 on Auto and it starts at zero at the beginning of the day. And Trip 2 is manual and I reset it when I gas up. I think BMW is trying to wean us old farts from reseting a trip meter when we gas up, they want us to depend on "miles to empty".

Trip 2 is part of a screen with many other readings (mpg, mph, hours, etc, etc) and the whole screen is reset, no individual items can be reset by itself. Trip 1 is also part of a screen with equal other readings (mpg, mph, hours, etc) and I have the option to reset the whole screen or individual items. These duplicate readings are like the R1200, mpg1 and mpg2, etc. Except that the TFT does not have current mpg, only average 1 & 2.

I am starting to get this, not bad for one week of ownership. Next on my learning curve is the BMW iPhone app.
