Car computer stuck at 65.3 mpg

I wish I was getting that. Any way to reset the computer to get it to properly register mpg?

You can use your iDrive, Radio, or turn signal stalk to reset it. Just look at your manual.

Or drive like a bat out of hell to lower it

Assuming you have (repeatedly) held the end of the stalk button in for a few seconds with mpg on the screen, it sounds like warranty time.

If all else fails, pull the battery cables and leave them off for a few minutes.
I had a screwed up setting in iDrive and that seemed to reboot everything and fixed my problem
Good luck
