Just to add to this - you can get the 8,000 RPM tach with oil temp gage (instead of the stupid instant economy gage) and also add the variable red-line feature from the M3 on your standard 328i cluster as well - all you need is a spare 335i cluster to disassemble, swap over the tach/oil temp face to your own cluster and then modify the cluster programming with perfekttoolbox (only the tach/oil temp side - the existing speedo/cruise/fuel level settings don't need to be touched, except maybe to tweak the offsets to get a perfect 0 point after the needles are replaced). Getting the variable redline feature as well involves de-soldering the cruise control ring stepper motor from the donor cluster and soldering it onto the existing blank spot on the tach side of the your own 328i cluster board. Then paint the left over cruise control moving ring from the donor cluster with the red line segment and snap it in with the drive gear ring in place of the existing static tach back ring. A little more programming with perfekttoolbox and you are done!

You have the patience of a saint bud. Good job.

*just happens to own E30 M3*

Looks amazing. Stunned at your patience!

Awesome job man. I think to minimize the headache and a shit ton of extra work we could just leave the stock rings in there and just do all the other upgrades. Im sure it would still look really good.

You can put the cluster in the oven at 225 (low) for 15 mins and it will soften the glue and the glass will come off.

WOW.. excellent video! Been waiting for one like this! thank you man! Subbed!

I like how intelligent he is, all very simple but I watch for the different ways to do things I already did wrong or right will go back and do it right.

Salutari din Romania,m-am uitat la videoul tau si am facut si eu acelasi lucru,a iesit super.

That Freakin E30 Tho

With all honesty man you got some patients

I have spare cluster with blue led back light for 70 . Led I used is 3528 smd. Let me know if anyone interested

Right now I’m trying to figure out how to retrofit or transplant an mk7 golf R gauges into an Mk7 gti. I found the golf R cluster gauges at a good price.

cool mod 👍🏻 - perfect candidate for airbrush

Great job, excellent skill

Very innovative and meticulous. A little OCD maybe, but well executed.

I thought this was going to look like shit but it turned out very nice, great job

lol can I just pay you to do this for me? I’ll send my own dashboard

I think the center square also looks different. And presents different info

Obrigado, o seu video vai me ajudar a desmontar o meu painel que deu uma sujeira interna, eu estava com medo de desmontar mais acompanhando seus videos vou conseguir fazer, obrigado.

What is the spraypaint colour you use ? I put gray adhesive on mine (with the white LEDs). It does not look as bright as yours. I also tried using the colour red on the numbers on my spedometer to give it a cool look. It did not work out, so I ended up taking out the red.

Question... In this video your kombi shows "D" and the number what gear u are on. I converted my stock "low" kombi to same as yours and mine showst just "D". Is there a way to turn that function on? I have a 6 speed trans.

I thought the reason they were orange dull lights was so that driving at night for a length they don't annoy you with so much blue light? My Lexus has a dimming knob to lower the brightness of the dash just for that reason. Kinda odd =P

I have an F10 but I want an e90 just so I can do stuff like this... Awesome work

This is so cool I wish I can do it knowing me I probably would fuck everything up 😭🤣

Why you dont exchange LED diods for display on white? It looks way better. And good job btw.

Great DIY! can you still adjust the intensity of the backlight with those white LED's?

looks professionally done, great job; i was waiting to see the cruise control though.

Hey great stuff. About the sharpie coloring.... I just got a e90 projector headlight, with the U DTM halos, but sadly its clear, and not the rgb ones. I would like to color it, but get a nice translucent effect through it. Can i use a Sharpie Red? Do you think it will last? Or do you suggest another more durable method of coloring, so that i dont have to be removing and touching up the colors every 6months. Let me know your thoughts.

Did you just say “sharpie mod”? 😂

Another question. I saw a lot of KZfaqrs use the oven to removes the glass from the headlight. Do you think if I use a cloth or something to covers it, and put some weights to the glass from inside, and kinda bake it like 100 degrees. Would you think it can be a easier way to remove that glass?

I did this mod and now my gauges are not working. Do you know how to reset the cluster or how to have it working properly ?

Wow nice job!

Yep! Do it right the 1st time or don’t do it at all.

Hey, you dont plan to change the radion and ac unit leds colors too? Trying to find information to change that too.

Your voice Max Payne 2 😆

You need to get a better soldering iron, it will be much easier to solder. Also you need to use flux, that way the solder will just flow onto the pads. The cluster looks sick though! I have an '07 335i

Just finished mine,took me like 5h with painting and waiting to dry, and I've never had a solder iron in my hand, so if i could do it everyone can...but have a nasty issue, when i put the needles back, i missed the alignment for fuel gauge so i tried to align by pushing it the right direction by hand, felt like something became loose, like the needle lost any resistance when u move it by hand...managed to find some point when it felt stiff again,popped it off,and put it on so it would be aligned...and guess what...fuel gauge doesn't work,and i did the cluster test(hidden menu)...pls respond, maybe u have some knowledge of this, anyone,pls

Thanks for the DIY, great video! What led bulbs did you go with?

Looks nice I might do that now

That is a mission

Awesome DIY!

Looks so good. I hate the orange colour!

Unless I missed it how did u get the green and yellow at the bottom of gauges

Hi, where I can buy electric tools for led? And wich type of led is?

Hi what's the size and specs of them leds and where can I get them from ? Thanks

Good Job. But I think the Background is white not silver

Could you bake the cluster in the oven like doing headlights?

I really like it would you do it for me maybe if i send it to you and wait for you to send it back? And how much would it cost lol

Wow!!!! Props !!!!

Very good. I'm from Brazil and I have a 335i 2011 and I wanted a very similar panel to this but in Brazil we do not have professionals that do it, want to make one of this for me and send me all the costs to buy the pieces and make big hugs

Nice video Looks nice.

Please post where you purchased the LEDs

The 325i cluster needles are awful why you've transfered those to yours? Do you like them? *EDIT:* Oh you paint them like an m3 😊😁😁

Okay so I'm confused- I see a Texas plate but you have a Canadian accent ?

Grate job bro is this possible in the 2013 BMW 740 Gauges

I want the E30 m3

I hope you can still help and answer this: Do you have a link or model number for the LEDs used? Other ppl seem to want to know too. And would this work for the LCI E90s, in your opinion? Thank you!

cool mod but a lot of work to get it done cheers 🍻

I like how you don’t use any gloves

Where to buy led ??

Dude can I just buy your cluster and give you mine as a core so you can do that shit again for u ? 🤪🤪 I don't really have that patience, I admire you

Link to the leds ?

Awesome video!!! How did you know the voltage and amps for the LED's? I have an F30, so mine may be different.

Can you show me how to reset the clock why you have this unit out of the car ?

excellent video! going to try to do the same :D would you be so kind to provide some link from ebay because I am not able to find those rings for cluster thank you very much

What temperature color did you use??

Didn't you adjust the gas needle so it sits at "0" when you turn the car off?

could you please give a link for the item to buy? like the m3 rim thing? I search on ebay, maybe I don't know whats it called

can you help do mine's?.. i'd have 2006 325i

Hey! you're the same guy that did the ABS pump DIY?!

Looks great mate. 1 important question for me before I attempt, the new leds you put in, do they dim when you lower the dash lighting level?

How much do you charge to do this?

Yeah it looks better but what a pain to do that

I would never do this. too extra but good job though. looks tough

Do you have the ebay link for the silver rings? Cant find em

hey i'd like to rotate the tachometer on my e90 330i 90 degrees to the left, so redline is at 12 o'clock. is this possible or do i have to configure the circuit board like you did?

Great job man💪👌 but I rather pay $200-$240 for a used M3 and code it

Where did you buy the led's from?? Cause when I look it up I can't find the ones you bought?

So at the end what did you use to color needles?

it must be awful to drive at night, that leds are much too bright

i wouldn't do it but awesome job

Fuel gauge was still wack

Why don't you justvordervthe glass seperate

Really all thia work just m3 cluster when the car is not m3 really.. such a headace but eh kudos to u

No lights tho

It's *plastic* not -glass-

need!

Nobody sane will ever do this...if it was a bulb or something yes but to spray there ecc no thanks

nah bro this is not it lmao jujst but the cluster and code it in😭

Had to turn the volume down to watch... Between the smacking of lips, your voice, and you breathing I was about to shoot myself... Other than that it was a great video

Who the hell is gonna do all this.
