re: <E36> Speedo Problems?



I have found that the OBC speed reading is VERY accurate. I use the 
mile markers on the highway and time the distance to five miles 
(using the OBC timer) while on cruise at 60.0 MPH and the time is 
5:00 minutes. Not 4:59 or 5:01. Dead on. This delights an anal retentive
like me.

In my 87 325i, the speedo reads about 2 MPH faster than the OBC.
I heard that BMW purposely sets the speedometer higher than actual 
speed to reduce the number of speeding tickets that BMW drivers get!
