Hey guys,
I've recently started repairing used clusters and also doing mileage correction and since we recently figured out how to make the oil temp go over CAN and have warm up lights working on 540s and 740s, I bought a bunch of used M5 clusters and am fixing them up to be sold. These are pretty much made to the buyer's request since I can do a few mods/upgrades as well.
So, compatibility. These are working fully on M5s (obviously), E53 X5 4.4i, 4.6is, 4.8is, and 540i(T) and 740i(L) models with M62TU engines (ME7.2 DME) with a tune that is modified to send the correct data over CAN bus. This means you get a fully working oil temp gauge as well as the warm-up lights that used to only work on E39 M5s and E53 X5 4.6/4.8is. Again, the oil temp stuff will not work on older M62 non-TU motors with the ME 5.2 DMEs. You will of course have a functioning cluster otherwise.
These will also work on 525i and 530i, though only the oil temp gauge will work. The nice thing is that this works right out of the box, so you don't have to load a tune on the DME to enable it. The only thing that doesn't work is the warm-up leds that go out as the engine temp goes up to operating temp. You will only have the last yellow and the red leds always lit.
Basic Cluster:
So, the basic unit I sell is a standard gray face M5 cluster with all pixels working and motors working as they should, mileage set to 0 so that it downloads the correct mileage from the LCM, and coding set to your ZCS code default settings.
Please don't ask me to hard code a mileage that isn't your current mileage as this is illegal and I don't want to be involved in doing that. I am doing mileage correction, not adjustment.
Price : $400
Upgrades:
One upgrade I offer is amber leds instead of yellow. For some strange reason, BMW decided that they wanted yellow illumination of the numbers on their M5 gauges, yet kept amber for the LCD display and the rest of the car. Some prefer this, some prefer everything to match the rest of the car. You have the option of which color you want. I don't really mess with other colors than these, because to change the LCD display requires making a plastic diffuser that is a different color and I'm not doing that, but if you want the mismatched colors, I can do some other colors (PM me for details).
Price: +$50
Another upgrade is what I call a "premium" cluster. When enough people started to complain to BMW that they were getting bad pixels and BMW started to do something about it, they replaced their clusters under either warranty or through a goodwill credit. These replacement clusters had a redesigned ribbon cable that is much more durable and has a physical connector on the PCB, rather than the cable being glued down and having it come unglued in warm temperatures. I have been successful in making hybrid clusters from non-M5 clusters with M5 gauge faces that work exactly like a M5 cluster should, but have this upgraded cable. BMW did make newer type M5 clusters as well, but they don't come up for sale often. The clusters I buy to do this cost more than the regular ones with bad pixels, so the price for these upgraded models is more. These shouldn't ever need pixel repair. LED choice still applies.
Price: +$100
The ultimate M5 cluster:
I don't have many of these due to the rarity of the donor cluster, but what I consider the ultimate M5 cluster is my premium upgraded cluster, with the black M5 gauge faces. These look absolutely amazing with the amber leds. Since they were only offered on 2000 M5s, they usually have very bad condition LCDs that need to be replaced anyways. My upgraded versions shouldn't ever need pixel repair.
Price: +$200
If you have a regular cluster that you just need repaired and mileage corrected on, let me know by PM and I can fix it for you. Price varies depending on work needed.
All prices include shipping to continental US. Ask about international shipping. Paypal fees are included.
I also can buy back your old cluster, so PM me with details and we can work out a price.
