Just like we do the currency conversion at the outlet mall. At least the speed conversion rate doesn't change daily, eh?

If it really bothers you, have you considered the Torque app?
I have an 09 Civic Si right now that has the digital gauge that switches from MPH to KM/H at the press of a button. I'm looking to purchase an M235i in the spring, just take the Civic through one more winter. I'll likely use my cell phone with an app like Car Home Ultra to give me a digital speed readout. It's just so strange that BMW chose to omit this on Canadian 2's when it seems all the USA spec units have both metric and imperial.
