Since 3-4 months I am continuing to insist with the dealer to try to swap an M5 cluster ... They don't want to try and continue to tell me there aren't M5 . In the meantime I will go there for other thing and I see there, every time, 1-2 M5 for service .

Eurocanfans, have you still the 545i ?

Joacim, the cluster should works, but on the steptronic appears an error on the iDrive screen .
On SMG .. I would like to test it ...
OK! I am really interested in this mod!! So everything works, including messages temperatur etc, except the error for steptronic?? Is it possible to install things in the M5 tacho from the original tacho, thinking of this dispaly in the middle??

my bad. Forgot about it! OK one more item. The cluster.
I'll add "PSR" next to ///M on the instrutment cluster!

I can get it here for ~$500. Remember, if there is any US version M5 cluster listed on eBay, it means that there is one M5 crashes :'(

someone grabbed it for $270 - New uncoded -

I?m not an expert, what do you mean with uncoded? Is it just plug-and-paly then?

You would need to install and then coding it, otherwise the cluster can't know how many km has you car etc.

Nobody with SMG is interested in this mod ?
Vegas ?

OK! So install the cluster is just plug-and-play?? And to get everything to work a BMW dealer has to code it? That?s it?

Install is plug&play, yes .
Everything works .. We don't know exactly yet: for sure the speedometer and the rpm and some infos in the orange little screen in the center .
Nicke60gre has installed it for 10 minutes, but he haven't codified it.
Nick, news from the cluster ?
