I don't really. Not my taste, however I am not against them in any way, and they match the rest of the car's aesthetic theme of clean, stockish, non-m E39; and, they do so quite perfectly.

No one was going to set their personal best @ that drag strip.
As I mentioned in my post with the video is was basically NOT prepped and it was 85F.
Rao wanted to take it easy on the launch to make it back to Chicago and didn't have the stickiest tires.
Rao was the fastest E39 last year, the only BMW who got into the 12s....

Even tho I give him sh1t about his wheels I fully understand why he uses them.

I believe he did his own cluster coding.

You'll need NCSexpert and the proper hardware cable/interface.

Mine was done in a totally different way then I would do it now, and I wasn't the one who did it on my car.

I have posted this several times - the instrument cluster needs to be coded for a analog tach signal and analog coolant temp signal. That is pretty easy to do now with the software that is available. Then you have to run the additional wires that go with that coding, which is a no-brainer.
