speedo is in miles, lcd in kilometers. Meanwhile I changed analog speedo scale to kilometers and the speed is perfectly accurate up to 140km/h, above that speed on LCD is 2-3 khm less then what's needle is showing

That's because the LCD readout is in KM/H while the speedometer is in MPH. But they do seem to match once you do the math

Excellent little mod, pity it can't be done on T4 though.

So the BMW diagnostics can be plugged into the OBD connector. Will it reset the trip meter to 00000? What else have you discovered it can do? Thanks for posting this up. I did not see the end of the movie clip, as I do not have much data left to run this end.
