E55 speedo problem
Hey all,
Wasn't sure which sub-forum to start this thread in.
I got a 2004 E55 a few weeks ago. Last weekend I took it on a road trip and found the digital speed readout. I noticed that the needle was reading different to the digital read out. I checked against my Garmin satnav which confirmed that the digital readout was correct and the analogue needle was reading slow...when the needle says 22mph the digital and satnav show 30mph, at 60mph on the the needle, digital and satnav say about 80mph.
Anyone got any ideas why the needle would be reading slow?
Many thanks,
T K

My guess would be an issue with the analog display. Something back there is causing it to misread the output from the computer/VSS. You may have to take your cluster out and take it to a shop or the whole car in to have them figure out what's going on.

Here is someone who had a similar problem, but with the digital and analog discrepancies reversed. (Analog reading higher)
