Hi. I heard from a variety of BMW fans and experts that BMW makes the worst speedometers possible. I find that to be true with my bmw also. For example, whenever, It shows 80mph, i don't feel like going 80, because, well, I see many semi trucks going even faster than me. It feels more like 70 mph. My uncle, who is a truck driver drove my BMW and he even told me that the speedometer isn't accurate. Now, many people said that BMW just can't build good speedometers, they are not good at that. Accoriding to a website BMW allows their vehicles with a speedometer margin of error of 5-7% plus 3 mph out of the factory. If you do the math, while the speedometer tells you you're traveling at 80 mph, you're actually going about 71-73 mph. And that is Acceptable by BMW. Its strange, cause even a Dodge Neon has way more accurate speedometers. I'm gonna test mine on the freeway with a stopwatch and watching those mile markers.
