Not Ranked
Just looked it up. It changed July 2006 but the change doesnt appear to be anything about location. Current requirement is:
5.1.The display of the speedometer must be located within the direct field of view of the driver and must be clearly legible both day and night. The range of speeds displayed must be sufficiently wide to include the maximum speed of this type of vehicle as stated by the manufacturer.
I can't see a diagram for determining direct field of view, but I'm looking on my little iPhone screen. If mini has it that way it's a pretty easy argument. In my opinion direct field of view is what you can see with your eyes without turning your head away from the direction of the road. But that is just my guess.
