The lawyer was trying to establish a "Foundation" in your case. In essence, your lawyer is using the argument that because your BMW speedometer is not showing the correct speed (the BMW is showing lower mph than actual), therefore, it was not your intention to drive at the speed the trooper clocked you at.
Obviously, this would not work if it is your word against the cops. Therefore, he had asked you to provide objective third-party evidence (in this case, BMW) to show that your speedometer is indeed inaccurate. I believe the case was thrown out or dismissed as a result.

The future repercussions to the OP from the insurance industry is too significant by paying the fine.
I agree the OP should get his lump. May be he can donate the "fine" to a charity of his choice.
