mileage error

is there a way to set my speed to be accurate, right now is out 9km per hr, all tires and rims are oem, speed tested against two separate gps based systems. Both gps were the same thus bmw has to be out,

2-3 is normal. 5 seems a little off. Take it to the dealer.

On a similar note... I think my odometer is not correct. I just got the car recently and haven't driven it a lot, and already have 1100 miles on it!

At what speeds? I had this issue with my e9x's where they were off by 5 MPH at 85 MPH ( 3 MPH off at 60), but our F3x's seem to be more in the line of 2 MPH off at 60 and 3 MPH off at 85.

All US BMWs come with a "speed correction" of 3 MPH (70 indicated = 67 actual). It can be disabled via coding. There is also a digital speed readout (v=mph) for the display between the speedo and tach that can be enabled by coding as well.

I will check against the digital speedo as I had it coded a couple of weeks ago.. If its out by more than 3km I will take it in to stealership
