300SDL odometer issue

Was driving the SDL for a few days and I've noticed that it's been turning over more miles than are actually being driven (at least 2 fold). Wondering what the cause of this is, since it doesn't appear to be a mechanical issue. Anyone experience this problem?

Someone may have installed wrong speedo head and/or internal gears.

Does the speedo go to 140 mph or 160 mph?
