Hi guys,
Currently having some issues with an Asian vendor, which does not seem to know the difference between an E60 (LCI and pre-LCI), and the E90 cluster, so it seems. As a result, their gauge faces (=overlays) for the E60 don't match my non-LCI cluster.
Can someone with an E60 LCI please post a picture of your instrument cluster? I'm especially interested in the RPM gauge...
TIA!
Armin

Check this thread. Mine is a diesel so redline is a bit lower than a gas powered car.

PS you can also always go on edmunds.com http://www.edmunds.com/bmw/ and select the car you want under the "research models". If you choose 5 series sedan (not just 5 series) then you can choose any year and see specifications and pictures from interior and exterior. Excellent site to research the changes that occurs between the years.
I also like this reference for differences between pre and LCI https://5series.net/information/2008...ed_Changes.pdf though not sure whether it goes in detail with the changes to the instrument cluster!

Thanks much, NavarroOne. I'll check out those links some more in detail when I get home...
Cheers,

My Ride: 2008 Jet Black 528i Navigation, heated seats, premium
Here are pix from my '08 528i. The redline hash marks start at 6,750, and the actual redline is at 7K. Remember, the LCI tachometer does NOT have the variable segments that change with engine temp.

In any event you've already gotten an excellent answer on this thread but if instruments are your current passion, you may enjoy the above thread.
