Damn, i was hoping that it would be something that the dealer can just recode and eliminate.
Any km modification is visible by the dealer (until now, on E60 cluster)

The dot showing mismatch between what showing and what store in computer. I wish dealer can do coding for us. ![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)

More specifically, different VIN numbers stored between CAS and Cluster

That might scare me more because dealer cannot program the car next time
So I still wait for a cleaner solution. I really really want it ![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)

Put your stock cluster back when visiting your dealer. It's a 3 min. job. No faults, no signs. ![Thumbsup](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/thumbsup.gif)

The M5 cluster in my case, carried over my current km's on the car. I don't know if it will last, we'll see.
Anyway, these items are of secondary importance to me -
...for someone with a smg/manual transmission, one can always buy the M5 cluster new, get the dealer to code it with your own VIN and your set to go.

Andy, yesterday I saw your clips and I noticed that in the first one there is a frame that shows "6" in the orange little screen .
But why only a frame ?
Do you see some gears, on it, or not ?
In september I will chain myself at the dealer till they don't give me an M5 cluster to install 2 minutes on my car to verify if it works properly about gear engaged!
