well for instance, I have one sitting here that was in a 240D I believe,
so it says k=1425, that means that its calibrated for a 4.25 rear end

that particular speedo is calibrated for.
Really? I never had a problem like this before it seems that just
offering different drive gears for the trans would be much more cost
effective than having to manufacture and stock different speedos.
If I pull the speedo and see these markings how do I decipher what
it means and what I need? This just doesn't sound right to me.
Gotta get going. Hopefully you can come up with the answer so maybe
tomorrow I can at least see what I have.
