Issue with speedometer

woodpecka · 05-14-2010, 07:50 PM

I just bought a 2006 325xiT with an extra 2 year waranty + BMW certification. I just notice the speedometer is always showing an extra 6% on the speed, compare to my GPS. The tires are original (205/55/16) and the GPS is showing the correct speed on other cars.

The dealer is saying this is impossible the car is not showing the right speed, as the tire size is fine.

Does somebody saw this issue before?

yes i did post about this on a 335i like 2 weeks ago ,
i was told this is a bmw thing , that the gauge shows higher than the gps ,
hence the reason why certain software cracks are available , one of which :
momentary display of true speed lol

which i find odd but yeh
