Speedo / GPS
Did a very unscientific test at the weekend comparing speed as shown on speedo to GPS on phone. GPS showed 70mph when car indicated 75mph. How do I know which is right!?
Has anyone else compared theirs!? Cheers |

It will run about 10% out mate,
My speed limiter comes in at 180mph on the speedo but showing 155mph on GPS

On an AUTOBAHN my Cecil showed a GPS reading of 174 MPH while the needle was off the clock way past the 180 MPH mark.

I think the M3 speedo is calibrated for the standard 18" wheel setup with 225/45/18 and 255/40/18. Mine was quite accurate when it had 18" winter tyres fitted, but is a long way under with the 19s on.

Maybe BMW looking out for my licence then... Got surprised by a mobile speed gun on the A13 recently and worried didn't slow down in time but probably not an issue!
