[QUOTE="pussy, post: 610228, member: 60"] sorry Mihzan, that's half right... the speed of the car is at the differential, not at the wheels, so if the rims/tyres are off the 3% allowed, the speed of the car does not tally with the speed of the shown diff turning, hence with the GPS, it will give you the correct reading. the second half right, the odometer millage is taken from the differential, that means the distance covered is correct on the odometer, but on the 'off reading due to the tyres' it will be either less or more, in mostly 'less' . what fabian is trying to say, his one does not tally with his GPS on distance covered based on his odometer reading (lesser), but his tyres are within the allocated %. But, for me, it's not about the distance or lesser petrol burned, it's the 'JOY' of driving a iconic e30 !! [/QUOTE]
