On the subject of speedometer accuracy, they have some flashing signs near me that indicate your speed as you're entering a 30 mph zone.

I wanted to see how accurate my speedo was, so I did exactly 40mph (indicated on my speedo) through the speed trap and it said 35mph!

So Im wondering if this is why people sit on my arse all the time - when I'm doing 30mph, am I really doing 25mph?!

I've timed my standard 320 at 9.1 seconds to an indicated 60mph, which was probably more like a true 50mph :|
