Hi,
my analog speedometer is not in sync with the digital display. The analog speedometer shows approx. 2-5 km/h less than the digital which is very annoying - especially when using cruise control or limiter.
What about yours? Is this "standard" at the W211?

Mine both read the same, BUT if you don't look at the speedo straight you can see a 1-3 MPH difference. It's angle dependent on your eye position. Since 1 MPH is ~0.6KPH, I would expect you could see as much as a 5 KPH difference by moving your head around a bit.
Trust the analog reading. Mine is spot on with the radar units set up at different places to tell you your speed.

Same Here - It's off by a couple MPH
I have noticed a slight difference between the digital readout and the dial guage of approx. 2 MPH as well. I had hoped to use it as a defense in court if I ever get stopped for speeding. But alas, I am not certain how to explain away the additional 28 MPH to the judge.

Is your watch working OK ?
Mine was all time delayted and is pertubated all data from the culster (i did not check the digital speedometer) but average speed, average consumption were wrong.
It was solved by changing the whole cluster.
