Could you not use a GPS speedo on your phone?
Not sure yet as haven't had all tyres fitted onto rims in case it doesn't look right or fit into the arches without some reasonable gap. Will let you know if/when kit is on with wheels and take it for a drive. GPS on phone is an option also, would need to mount it somewhere, as would be much larger that Cycle speedo option which could be more discrete.....hmmm, thanks for the suggestion it is welcome, Iv'e also asked on the Z3 forums and there are some interesting ideas, specifically around dividing the signal from the speed senor, etc.
