Mileage discrepancy on BMW 5
(Translated from Spanish)
Summary of the thread
A 2007 BMW 5 owner noticed a mileage discrepancy between the gearbox and the car's odometer, with the gearbox showing a much higher mileage. Despite having a mileage certificate and maintenance records confirming the correct mileage, a VTG code indicated oil wear at a significantly higher mileage. The issue was resolved using an Autel diagnostic tool, which confirmed that all modules and mileages were consistent, suggesting the initial discrepancy might have been due to a software or sensor error.

It's possible that the discrepancy is due to a software or sensor issue. Start by checking if there are any software updates available for your vehicle's ECU and transmission control module. Sometimes, outdated software can cause incorrect readings. If the software is up to date, consider having a professional perform a diagnostic scan to check for any faults or errors in the system. Let us know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
It is already solved with the autel machine all the modules and mileages coincide, I don't know why carly has more than double the mileage, checking the mileage it is all correct.
