This is a shame, my current have it (red lining) but the soon coming next one don't

What about the cruise control marker (yellow lining)?

.
The cruise control marker is still present on the LCI cars, just the white tachometer bars are "broken" on the LCI...

the markers are pretty OK to give you an idea of engine temp, but since I installed the M5 cluster I noticed I used to get on the gas too early if I go by the markers as a reference.
The oil temp is the best gauge to let you know when to have fun. This is about 10 mins on the V8 to get to 100deg C.

how does that work-is that your picture or one of an m5-since it goes to 8500rpms and you have a 545 no? How do you calibrate it to your car or am I being stupid here?

I think Andy installed the M5 instrument cluster in his 545...

(If I'm right, Andy needs to update his sig! )
