What Jaxx said earlier is correct.
But if I remember correctly, I was reading a post here that there is an adjustment "screw" on the speedo for calibrating it. It involves using a machine for generating a pulse then using the "screw" to adjust the speedo reading.
I've verified my speedo is "off" but my odo is correct a couple different ways.
Also if you have an "open" diff. Jack up one side, mark the driveshaft and spin one wheel 2 revolutions and you'll get a very close idea of your ratio.

or you can do it 10 times and get it even more accurate. :)'84 318i M10B18 147- Safari Beige
