Anyone know if it's possible to change the bike speedometer from miles per hour to kilometers per hour easily? Just curious as it would be useful while doing international touring.

It doesn't look possible, at least on Beemers delivered to the USA market and without using some of those devices that mess with the firmware.Anyone know if it's possible to change the bike speedometer from miles per hour to kilometers per hour easily?

I can't recall seeing anything on the forum here, and I did a quick check of the owner and shop PDF manuals that I have for the C 400.
However, you may want to read through this reasonably short BMW LT forum thread from 2021:
... which also references this slightly older Adventure Rider thread:
That "LT" forum may have originated to discuss the long-defunct BMW LTs, but it doesn't restrict itself to that model. Actually, I think there are more threads dealing with RTs than LTs, for instance. In any case, that's not a C 400 forum, but it is a BMW bike forum, and my guess is that what those two threads describe is what also applies to the C 400s.
And if this is really the case, I agree with the sentiments of those folks who think this is pretty silly. My (non-BMW model-year 2018) car has a digital speedometer display that can be switched between mph and kph with a couple of clicks, and when my wife and I make the four-hour drive to Canada that's exactly what we do.
Good luck in your quest.

Also just noticed ‘pressure unit’ perhaps there might be a program for tyre pressure?!
UK supplied C400X 2023.
