I know it is just a Honda, and how accurate could their speedometer be, but are ours accurate?

I know that hooking up a sat nav or GPS would tell me a speed, but I just don't have one.

Anyone have any similar experiences or knows what is going on? Is it a computer thing that can be calibrated? I don't have any mods and I also have the stock 18" sport rims FYI.

Thanks all!
Wouldnt you assume the CIVICs speedo is wrong. Not your BMW?
