Keep up -
bss325i wrote:The reason why the trip recorded distance is higher than the actuall milage is because the speedo's start at something like 999990 and the first/last ten of miles are put on at the factory during testing so when the car is finished the speedo reads 000000 or there abouts.

Obviously someone at the factory and selling dealer forgot to reset the trip! :mad:

I hadn't noticed the trip distance was greater than the overall mileage, it was the misaligned numbers on the odometer which stood out to me.

The common link amongst all this sinister dialogue is - the Welsh.

I've often said Wales should be paved over and become Europe's car park, with any Welsh refusing to relocate forced to retrain as engineers and join the night shift in the construction of the aforementioned facility.

If parliament would have listened to me back in 2002, we wouldn't be in this mess right now.

Haha, you obviously underestimate the patriotism of those valleys boys! I wouldn't be surprised if he gave everyone but Ratch a go just to piss him off!! winkeye winkeye

No harm to you Ratch - you're dead right that this thread has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous..

As said, is because all 3 digits are about to change to display 100km.

When my Sport clicked over from 49999 to 50000 it looked very wonky!

Bonkers, are these un-registered M3's going to be given a 10 plate VRM or will they put them on G/H plates ??

I hope they don't get a Q plate 8O
