Re: Which M5's had grey instrument dials?

The grey dials were part of the 'facelift' for cars from MY2001 onwards.

Other enhancements at the time included the widescreen tv, angel eyes at front & leds at rear, auto headlights, revised steering wheel etc.

Re: Which M5's had grey instrument dials?

M5's older than '01 may have the grey guages if the instrument cluster had a problem and was replaced. The black dials went out of production. Since it is a common problem, a lot of 2000 models may now have the grey guages.
