Custom SPEEDOMETER

Hi Guys,

I have the US Specs care and I just HATE the Cluster Instrument Panel which comes in MPH and KM/h. I prefer the European and Canadian version speedometers which come only in KM/h and I heard that some custom ones come with 300 Km/h written on them which I think is pretty hot

I heard that the speedometer panel can be changed without having to replace the whole cluster system which is pretty expensive ...

I saw this set of Speedometer Panels:

Lumma:






Hartge:



AC Schnitzer:



Alpina:



OEM-Like but with 300KM/h:


I liked the Lumma speedometer because I think it would look awesome with the Orange cluster lights on the white color gives a sick effect Anyone got pics?
But the problem is that I don't think it has 300KM/h on it...

Any other clearer pictures of those Panels or other ones are VERY welcome

Any thoughts guys? Suggestions from ones who've done this before? Suggestions of other Instrument Cluster Panels? Photos of installation? Tips?

I will add a poll of all models as soon as others post their suggestions in order to name all the choices...

Thanks guys!

I don't like to install any M3 parts on my 335i...
Just 335i and proud to be ... Just leave the M for itself, I don't wanna be part of the "M-Wannabe" helpless modders...

Does it actually light up in blue? Where have you seen it? I wouldn't like that because it would look weird with the rest of the OEM Orange interior lighting.
As for where to buy it, no idea!

thats what i was sure of.... these parts are pretty hard to get a hold of.... the most youll get is the m3 cluster on ebay for about 120 bucks

if someone can remake an alpina guage face, that would be epic.

I have some Alpina needles if anyone is interested.

You can score a euro non-M cluster off ebay.de pretty cheap and just swap out the gauge faces. Be ware of and faces with a higher top speed though as your speedometer reading will be INCORRECT due to scaling.
