why not just try the mod of changing the LED's on cluster to white instead of the orange? Would be more cost effective....

BTT: The M5 cluster nowhere on it says M5, just "///M" so IMO, no it's not posing it you install it.....

to each it's own. my opinion - it's not as poser as the badge of course (because nobody else see it - but driver), but why? you car has certain technical characteristics and it's better to have original speedometer. just my opinion, i wouldn't mess with it. and if the color makes difference to someone changing LED's may be an option.

What signature?! I want to see!!! darn it.
And yea. changing to M5 gauge is nice, but has so much headache. You have the better option of just changing the LEDS. =D

No, it isn't a poser because :
a) it is INSIDE the car
b) the original cluster is a shit, ugly + 260 kmh are A LOL for a V8.
(edit: maybe for a diesel ora 525i)

I have a DIESEL, non-V8, Touring, and the ///M gauge cluster.
I like it and it goes perfectly with my M-Sport E61.
