Its hard to tell by the pics, but when you look at it the orange rings are much more defined, thicker and brighter and it makes the cluster look better at night. If anyone likes the look ill write up a how to. Can someone tell me how to reduce the size of these images, they show up way too big and I wouldnt want to have to scroll around a page 5 times to view one image so I know yall dont either.

Looks pretty good.
Not sure about the image sizes, but here's instruction what to do to make them fit the page while browsing. Worked for me on my Windows laptop using Chrome. Haven't figured out a way to do the same on iPhone or iPad, though. https://www.e90post.com/forums/showp...ostcount=26140

Did you also program the mpg gauge to show coolant temp?

No I just swapped clusters from a sedan, ive been experimenting with the aesthetics and was going for a m3 cluster look but dont have the time to I did paint the black trim rings behind the rpm and speedometer to a silver color and the results were suprising and I really like it. The orange rings around both are much thicker, oranger and cooler looking at nigh and im so glad I did it now. You really cant tell its been modded so its an oem look no doubt just with accented more visible orange rings. Cool thing about it is all you need to do it is a silver sharpie pen and removal of the outer plastic lense which is simple and doesnt carry a potential for damaging the cluster. Its a little hard to tell by the pics but when you see it in person its really noticeable and just neater looking.

That's weird, the mpg needle should sit all the way to the left if the car is stationary.

the process of doing this involves removing all 4 needles, when u put them back on you have to reset them to their default locations like you said all the way to left for the mpg and I snapped a photo prior to doing that. And then to be sure I use protool to reset the cluster and code it back to factory spec to ensure the needles are in sync and accurately with their stepper motors
