M speedo in non-M Z4

bmwZ · 02-28-2011, 04:13 PM

Hello! I have bought me a M instrument cluster for my 2.2 Z4.

Anyone thats done this swap before?

I have mounted it, and all the dials are working. Only problem is that I have a lot of lamps lightning my cluster now.

I know that I have to code it, but will it then work properly?

Once you code it, it will work, but the features exclusive to the M (variable warm up tach lights, oil temperature gauge) will not work.

I cant stand how they have the M gauges in white while the rest of the car is in orange. Looks really off

That can be fixed via swapping out all of the light bulbs for the various dash trims. Not worth the amount of work/labor though =P

Ok thanks

I like the white light on the M cluster, much more modern look.

I think the oil gauge works, because its so much slower rising in temerature now than before(Showed coolingwather temp before).

Will try to code it and then it will hopefully work just fine
