At times the two speeds match almost exactly so I would assume it is an iDrive software bug. I haven't had my shop install the latest iDrive version yet. I wanted to wait and read what others have been experiencing. The issue reported above about a battery drain when the X7 is turned off but not locked is a good example of why you never wanted to be their beta tester. I use Waze most of the time anyway so I go by that speed. Hopefully BMW gets the X7 iDrive software nailed down soon and gets OTA updates pushed out to all owners before years end.

Waze is not very accurate when it comes to speed.
After 15 years and 10 BMW's I'm used to their 'slower' speedometer and merely drive 5 MPH faster than it says, ain't rocket science.
