Problem resetting trip recorders

[Beemer2]

Today I tried to reset the trip recorders for the first time. On doing so both read 0 but when I came out of those menus to the "trip" view the trip figure (not total mileage) still had the same reading. I had to repeat the process four times before I got a zero reading. Was I doing something wrong?

I don't know the W212, but on my 211 the trip meter is separate from the "from start" and "from reset" counters, and needs to be reset when the screen is not showing either of those counters.

So why three recorders?

one for the current journey - the car decides when it will reset.

Then two separate trips that you reset as and when

I have an overall trip and another that I can use for trip that I may need the info on.....I leave the main one as is so far, and when I did a 300 mile journey, I used the other
