Thread: Odometer Calibration

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by Flinch
I searched with little luck, and I'm not looking for someone to calibrate my speedo so I can get out of a ticket. I bought another cluster for my BMW and need to have the mileage on my current cluster and car copied onto the cluster I bought. I want this to be completely legit, not looking to go around anything or hide actual mileage, I just want the mileage to match. Has ...
