This really does look great. Is it even possible to buy the M5 needles? Irrespective of cost that is...just curious...

Phil, I don't believe they are selling separate M5 needles. But you never know what you can find in eBay, though .

Hi Antti

I had a look on Google, Bimmian do red needles for the E9x series...I sent them a mail asking them if they can do the same for the E60! They were only £13 I recall for the E9x series too!

Yah, they've always been around that price. I have heard of people buying directly from the dealer too.

How do I get the M5 rings in? Is there a trick to pop out the clear lens?
