European Instrument Cluster Swap?

[liquidgroove]

Euro Cluster doesn't have check engine light. It does have a rear fog indicator though.

[der affe]

i didn't even switch out the coding plug and mine works just fine.
the speedo came from a canadian 325I and mine is a US 325i

just remember to try to drive with the flow of traffic for a while until you get used to the conversion (MPH to KPH)

But keep in mind the conversion from kilometers to miles. (I'm sure you'd take that into account, but just in case..)

an honest rant is better than a useless question there old man

Fixed that for you.

To the OP, Everything should be fine. Just swap the coding plug like rThor432 said and you should be fine. You might also want to roll the odometer over to match the original.

WTF, what is the point in 99% of the shit we do to these cars? What is the point of sliding around a corner slideways, or hauling ass in a a straight line or ripping through corners as quickly as you can, especially when it is the same fucking corners?

One word: Fun.

Perhaps, to this guy, a "Uro" cluster is "fun".

So, anyone have any useful input here?

I sure don't.

Just make sure you swap the coding plug over (keep the one from your US cluster). Sometimes that can make a difference if the car it came from had a different engine than yours.

I put a European cluster in my car because my US odometer and maybe the tach were dead and I had a Euro cluster as a spare/tester.

I am thinking of swapping my instrument cluster in with a euro one. What do you guys think. Other than the obvious implications of having Km/h which i am not worried about. Is there anything i don't know about that i should know about?
