the speed needle actually go below 0 when you turn off your car and when you turn the key to position 2 (2 position before engine start) the needle will go back up to 0.

My previous car, a 97 Z3, had a "check state" where all the electronic/analog gauges cycle thru. It's really cool to see. Does our car do that?

On the Z3 you hold down the trip computer button while turning key to 1st position.

Does it go below 0 if you reverse?
