  <I was wondering if any of you <E36> owners have experienced speedometer

  <function. I had set it at 75 mph. Unfortunately, it does not give you
  <that friendly warning chime until the needle on the speedo crosses 80
  <mph. Does my speedo need to be recalibrated? Are the speedo's
  <deliberately 'fast'? TIA for any help or comments with past experiences.
  
  Hit the "Speed" button, then hit "Set/Res".  This resets the averaging, 
  so you get a better idea of what the OBC thinks your current speed is.  
  On my '95 325i, when the speedo shows 70, OBC says 67 or so.
  
  <One more question: how do you know when the ASC+T kicks in? It was
  <pretty slippery here over the weekend and I heard some noises on
  <acceleration I am not familiar with when the tires slip (sounded like
  <knocking on wood). Thanks again.
  
  The yellow icon with a wheel and some arrows flashes on and off, and the 
  car slows down below what your accelerator pedal is signaling.  I don't 
  remember hearing knocking noises.  Anyone have a guess?
