??????????????????????

I have a question that maybe someone here can answer.I have a 2008 335i w/sport package and it seems that I am going slower than most and it feels like I am not going the same speed as on the speed odometer(slower).Are these cars calibrated with the larger wheels or is it the same rolling mass as the 17in. wheel package.

I traded in a 2008 Vette for this car and in the Vette at 70mph it did feel as if you were going 70mph.

BMW speedo's are a little off. 75 is actually around 70 or something. Do a search and you'll find lots of info.

This is interesting. No wonder I always seem to be cruising at 80mph.

The overall diameter of the 17" and 18" wheels are almost the same, don't think you could feel the difference.

I dont think the wheels make a difference. I was going 70 on the highway the other day. GPS says 70, but SPEEDO said 75. So it is about 5 MPH off. If you do a search you will find alot of info on this.
