E55 digital speed readout incorrect
Hi,
I just picked up an '05 E55 w/ 54k on it and quite a few awesome mods done (185 crank pulley, heat exchanger, longtubes, intake tubes, quaife diff, etc). The PO was active on the forums and took extremely good care of this car. It is immaculate for an 05. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to purchase from him.
One thing I noticed is that the digital speed readout is inaccurate. At 80 it reads 50. I did some searching and while I did find posts on this, I wasn't able to locate a solution. I can live with it if need be, but would prefer to correct it.
So, has anyone else had this problem? Is it easily fixed, via STAR or some other method?

Have you spoken with the PO to inquire about the issue existing prior to sale? Maybe one of the mods changed the signal to the digital readout and he can tell you how to reverse what was done.

I do have STAR, so I'm hoping that there is somehow a function to alter how the digital and analog speedometers interact.

How does your car drive & handle with having a quaife diff? Do you think it's much better than the stock open diff it originally comes with? I'm on the fence of putting on a WaveTrac LSD on my 04 E55. It's like $1k for the WaveTrac LSD and another $1100-$1200 in labor/parts.
