E36 328 Speedo Calibration

Recommended Posts

So, picked up my new E36 on the Weeke d, it's auto, but has the 3.6whatever LSD medium case diff. 

The tires are one profile higher than spec, 235/45/17 rather than 235/40/17. 

However what I'm dealing with is 100km Road speed (GPS and SID Confirmed) is around 82kph on the speedo, 50 around 39ish... And while I've got a pretty good butometer, it's a bit of a pain in the ass glancing down at the GPS all the time to confirm speed. 

Is this somthing I can change in the ecu? Or do I need a pulse modifier on the wire somewhere, or a new sender, or a new cluster?

Hi EurolessNoMore

That profile would show 2kmh @ 50 to 4kmh @ 100 kmh speed increase.

Something more interesting is a foot

Sweet ill check that out. 

The other quirk that is probably related is the fuel consumption guage is off by about 10L/km, shows 20L/km when cruising, which would be lovely, but yeah...
