This is a great write up matt, thank you,
I was wondering if you knew where to order the plastic gears for the odo on the other side of the motor. I have 2 large gears that the teeth started to tear off, and the same for the very small black one.
ThanksI love that people ask stupid questions so I dont have.

I replaced the VDO odo gears in 2 cars recently. On the 318i it had been broken for ages and as much as I wanted to bring the readings current, I did not want to risk taking it apart. On the 325 I was following the recommendation from odometergears.com by blowing out all the bits of debris with an air compressor. Turns out there is a paddlewheel (I cant recall which end of the gear shaft it was on) that when you hit it with air, it will wind the odometer back or forwards. This speedo hadnt been broken for long so I didnt change the readout, but I would guess that I could have wound it back to zero from 200k in 15 minutes with NO disassembly.
As for Federal Odometer Statements, cars over 10 years old check the "exempt" box. Case closed :-)Seat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch. Email John or Garrett at ninestitch1@gmail.com

if any of you are too afraid of doing this, i have a couple dozen speedos leftover and can set em up and ship em out with new odogears.com gears for less than the cost of the gears themselves.1989 325is / 2.7, 274 cam, e30 M3 5-lug
