does it like the M5 badge on non-M cars? or not?

your opinion please!
just contact member nigxdoof (aka Mike) who has a great mod for your cluster to update the color lights...you dont want the actual M5 cluster as it would not be useful to you in that the RPM gauge would be wrong and not work properly

Well, in fact, it would be quite useful.
I have done a couple of 260km/h+ runs and the needle just sticks to 260km/h and doesn't move a muscle until you get below it.
According to my tuner, it does about 275km/h, but i can't check it (the iPhone GPS drops at about 240km/h).

why not just try the mod of changing the LED's on cluster to white instead of the orange? Would be more cost effective....
+1 itis much cheaper to do this.
