WTB: '84-'85 318i 7k MotoMeter Tachometer

[Nathan]

Want to buy as the title states, I will be using it to convert from 5k to 7k. It needs to use a coding plug.

Thanks

bump...

This would really be cool to have. Come on parts car guys!! Scott, you have everything, you should have this!

Does it have to come from an '84-85 318i?? I've got an '85 I'm parting out, but not sure if it's a motometer or VDO.

Any other car it could come from?? I've got 318is (M42) and 325i parts cars....

It has to use a coding plug instead of a chip. It has to be MotoMeter becuase I have a MotoMeter cluster. The cars I listed were (as far as I know) the only cars that had the 7k tach that used coding plugs.

I'll check it out and let you know.

you know, nathan, I have 5 gauge clusters at my house... If you ever felt like coming and getting your airbag knee bolster, we could take a look at my manny clusters and see if one worked.

hint hint come get your parts :P

[Nathan]

LOL

I really should do that... But I already bought a guage, lol. It must be going on a couple months now. Are you going to be around the thanksgiving weekend? I probably could find time to come and pick it up then.

[Mot]

ya ill be around.

Well, I checked out a bunch of clusters/tachs today. The only '84 318i cluster I have is a VDO. I have a couple of 325i/318is Motometer clusters, the tachs LOOK the same as the early 318i- they max out at 7k, redline starts at about 6400 and gets a bigger red stripe at ~6600.

Lemme know if one of these would work- they use the code plug like most E30's.
