problem #1

Jan 212008

325 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles
Speedometer reading off by ~5 miles per hour - give or take. Twice requested dealership to correct the issue and was told that BMW allows for a +/ - 10 mph discrepancy. This speed variance or inexact speed information could mislead drivers as to the appropriate speed in icy or rainy weather conditions as well as other instances where speed needs to be understood. Defect needs to be corrected as might violate various state inspection requirements as well.
