When I saw the M5 cluster installed on nicke60gre's car - I was sure to get one next time I saw a reasonable deal on ebay.
Picked up this one for 199euros. It looks sick ! :wow:

Long story short : everything works like stock :

speed: check !
rpm: check!
rpm adjusted temp ban: check! (max rpm automatically adjusts for your type of engine)
fuel indicator: check!
oil temp: check!
cruise control indicator: check!


...of course I get the usual transmission warning/error since I have an auto. This occurs when I start the car and drive in D and DS.
In manual (steptronic), N, R : the error symbol in the display disappears as the i-drive warning as well. No biggie, I can live with it until a solution arises...I guess some mod with the cluster itself will have to take place.

The cluster lights up automatically (irrelavant of light position) and the colors are just beautiful.

Bottom line: this a wonderful interior mod for manual/smg owners, as they will not get any transmission errors.

Great, Andy!
:wow: Awezome:twoup: Love it!
Is the cluster come uncoded or used?
Is your current km shown correctly?
Is the speed and rpm working correctly?

Can you remove ///M logo? :wow: j/k

Once again I love it: :)

Andy, need to know if with SMG tranny it displays the gear engaged : ex. 1, 2, D1, D2 .
Does your cluster displays D1, D2, DS, M1, M2, etc. ?

I imagine that I could fine the answer in your clips, but I am with GPRS at the sea :)

Finally, someone with SMG do the mod! :cool:
Vegas ? :P

Wow!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

And the oil-temp is working too ! How is that possible?

The little dot (.) next to the total distance means that someone has changed the instrument cluster :getlost:

Cheers from Vevey in Switzerland :whistle:

Seems that the M5 cluster, handles in a different way Manual/Auto cars. On "manual" transmission that gauge turns to a consumption meter, while in "auto" cars is an oil temperature meter.

Cheers!!

How can you get rid of the tamper dot?
