Speedometer WAY off ???

I've always thought my '07 gti speedometer was a bit high. I have a hard time believing that 80 just moves with the rest of the traffic on the highway. I will definetely mention it when I take it in for service next time. I've also talked to someone who had a BMW M coupe, and his speedometer was off 8mph, & the dealership wouldn't fix it. He said he called corporate, and they said BMW did this on purpose because they had issues with speedometers being lower than actually and people getting tickets. So they purposely made them a few mph over your actual speed. I wonder if VW was trying to accomplish the same thing? BTW, I cannot believe a company like BMW couldn't resolve a simple speedometer issue. Surely, getting a more accurate and precise speedometer cannot cost too much, right?
