Speedo reads fast for me I think, like for example it says im doing 70, im probably actually closer to 65. Stock size tires as well, but not that the OBC would know better regarding tire size though. If I set my speed alarm to 65, the gong will sound at ~70ish on the speedo. I've gone past the speed meter things on the side of the road too, and confirmed that my speedometer does read slightly low.

I read (in Car and Driver I think) that BMW speedos read on the high side. They did some comparisons on several different makes of cars, and found BMWs run high worse than any other car--they would always run about 5 mph+ more than actual speed, and it only got worse the closer to top speed you got. They didn't test an E30, but I always felt that it suffered the same problem.1988 325ic Automatic

I wish my 1991 325i with sport package came with an OBC. My bill of sale shows the original owner paid $1900 USD for sport package but I don't have an OBC. Premium sound didn't come with the sport package either - that was another few hundred extra :-/
