The BMW speedos seem to be about 3-6 mph out but very accurate to this, all the way around the speedo, I have a pic of Ant and Petes E90 D3 showing a GPS 162 and the needle is just under 160.

Awesome mikey

Is your m3 de-limited? seems BMW limiter is a bit soft and allows people to go way past the 155mph supposed limit!

what bhp was your 325d to get to that speed?
