It is. A progman update always involves leaving the car in the 2nd ignition position.

this would be a nice oppurtunity for a UK member.

1. win it.
2. ship it here: www.asccar.de for 150euro and your VIN, he will uncode it and code your VIN in it.
3. Program via Progman "kombi" using the hot swap technique at your dealer.
4. enjoy the new look !

...maybe overkill though in a diesel - but still doable - why not ?

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 !

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.

Could you tell me it the M5 cluster will work on every E60 (every engine and every model year)?

I have a 2005 530i and also like the M5 look.
