Curious...when I first went to this thread and link the other day, I noticed that the before (335i stock) mod picture had more than 52K. The aftermod shows just over 52K. And now the before mod picture isn't working on the link. Will the odometer be affected with this mod?

 

The before picture was taken after I did the swap. I simply installed the old cluster again and took a picture. That's why the "before" picture has higher mileage.
The mileage will not be affected. In BMW cars it is stored in a few modules and when I ship the M5/6 cluster to you it will include your VIN and will have the mileage erased (blanked).
After installation the actual mileage will automatically be written to the cluster.

 

I did this mod some years ago an find this offer pretty reasonable. It took me some time to find a fairly priced M5 cluster off ebay plus the right people to erase, code VIN and program. This offer make this mod an off the shelf PnP product - good stuff As mentioned by Patrys, mileage will be correct and carried over from your car.

Personally, if had a diesel I would rather do the LED cluster mod as the yellow/redline color would look strange occupying half the rpm outer range...

Just one note. If you ever have to go to BMW to program/code your car make sure to swap the original cluster back into the car before.

 

Huh and what? Who are you?

 

 

and the final conclusion is?....

 

About???

 

... Nelson is the last one able to retrofit the M5 cluster on an E60

 

ive just done mine in the uk andy 545 gave some good advice on it, definately worth the mod. you have to do a few adjustments and then it'll work sweetly.

 

Seems like only Nelson is interested in the OEM M5 cluster retrofit

Anyone else?
