Honda's odometers were off. BMW's odometers are accurate it's just the speedometer readout. The ECU knows exactly how fast the car is going.
I think the German speedometer error is a DIN thing, German manufacturers are required to certify that the car is
at least as fast as the instrument indicates. If they publish a certain 0-60 number, the worst BMW built on the worst day of the week during Oktoberfest will be be at least that fast.
(I have been stuck behind new BMWs (temporary tags)
twice in the last few weeks that were clogging up the left hand lane at about 5-7MPH less than the normal traffic speed in the area. ("The ultimate moving chicane"???) I happen to think left lane bandits should be shot and probably a lot of other drivers think the same thing. BMW dealers should at least clue buyers in about the speedometer error.)
