...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 ?

Any km modification is visible by the dealer (until now, on E60 cluster)
just wanted to add something thing to that it is possible to change the milage on the e60.. but unlike most cars the e60's instrument cluster only shows the millage of the cluster, you can change to a new cluster and that would possible show zero KMs...
the thing is with the CAS system which controls every thing, it has the actual milage of the car, and the key has another copy of the milage which is updated everytime you stick it in the ignition, (the key also has the service record in the idrive, and faults)... so even if you change the milage on the instrument cluster, you have to change it in the CAS or the dealer will know, once you modify the CAS there is no need to modify the info on the key just stick it in the ignition and it will update itself....

the CAS would also have to carry over the actual km's to the cluster. CAS transfered my exact km's to my used M5 cluster but don't ask me how - I'm still reading up on this !

here no dealers would do it, first they will claim loss of warranty and second, will not do it as it is impossible.
Then again we need to print out E60 pages and show them
Guys you are awesome and congrats! For a 3 l diesel I will not do it but would need sg at least till 270 as we did it over...
