hi there,
just wondering if anyone from the UK carried out this Mod??
i'm about to try this retrofit in my 545i and wondered if i'm not the only one thats going to do this....... i know the greats out there have done it on the otherside of the pond.
but havnt seen any over here as yet....
can anyone recommend someone that can reset the chip and add my vin to the cluster so i can code it to the car???

How comes you want the M5 cluster?
How about just doing the cluster mod with LEDs

hey bud,
i picked up the cluster quite cheap, quite liked the exquisite look about them, and didnt fancy messing about with the faces n dials...
but ive found a great guy in the uk that'll can do the mod with the clusters, i wanted them in like yesterday and could wait having them shipped abroad for a few fellow forum members to do for me.

Not really. The best I can get is Halogen LCI lights with very dim angel eyes. Livefour2day and BS64 are hopefully coming up with something to make the angel eyes brighter so if that works then I may keep the halogen LCI's and get some xenon looking bulb.

got a programmer in Bradford that will carry out the mod, just now trying to locate the dump bin files and work out the hex, to where the vin is located, so that it can be erased and then replaced with our vin numbers ect then code it to the car. thats it.. i should be going up there in a few weeks to test my clocks and be the guinea pig
