    my speedo reads about 4-5mph high + 4% because of undersized tires. kind of nice because when i am doing "70" i am actually closer to 60. no tickets yet...

      I'd love it if mine was only off by 5mph. 12 is a bit much and my front bumper in primer makes me look like I sell crack!

        there is a dial on the speedometer I think its a variable resistor, you can turn it to increase or decrease the actual speed displayed.

          just remember that ur speedo is off by that much and compensate.... they're not gonna pop you unless you TELL THEM YOU HAVE A BROKEN SPEEDO.

              yes it is true of my 89 325i. I used a gps to verify in between adjustments.
