And I beg to differ about what "anyone who owns a BMW knows." How in the world would you know what I know?? Fact is, I didn't know and I suspect the great majority of first time buyers "don't know" until they make the same observations AFTER purchase.
There's no value in posts which seek to judge how we should "feel" about the issue - that's a personal thing. This thread is about finding a fix not evaluating feelings.

This has been BMW’s way since the 1980s. Subtract 5 miles an hour and you know how fast you’re going. It isn’t hard. |
I find it hard to believe that BMWs in general read 5mph higher.
So you saying if I am going 5 mph the speedo is reading 10mph?
Or if I am going 40 mph it is saying I'm going 45mph?
Makes no sense.
I could see 5% higher... so reading 2.75 mph higher if actual speed is 55 mph etc.
So if I'm going 5 mph, I'm actually going 5.25 mph.
And if I'm going 40 mph... I'm actually going 42 mph. Etc.
