Speedometer coding

After I got my radar detector installed in my 128i I realized that the analog speedometer was 5-7% fast according to the radar detector's built-in GPS. After googling the problem I discovered that this is a well known issue with basically all BMWs since the late 90s (maybe before IDK), Can this be fixed though coding?

I emailed Carly support about this issue since they list as a possible coding option except on US models and I quote their response: "We have found that the US model just doesn’t support this feature." So what is it about US models that doesn't allow this feature to be coded?

This has got to be one of the most annoying things for me about my 128i. Any info would be much appreciated.

Note: I am aware that I can turn on a digital speedometer which can display a true speed, but I am specifically interested in coding the analog speedometer.
