Have a super eta... is my tach OK for “2.7i” conversion?

I was never clear with what is needed for this conversion re: gauge cluster.

This is what my cluster/tach looks like now:



Do I need to source a tach from a 325i? Coding plug as well?

Another option would also be to acquire an entire cluster from a different car but I’d prefer not to, since mine is original with working gears.

Let me know what you think.

i tach and i coding plug. should work

[AC_Schnitzel]

i tach and i coding plug. should work

Cool, I appreciate the info. Does it matter if the tach/coding plug come from a VDO or Motometer?

yours would also work as-is but obviously, the stock 6400rpm redline will be past the end of your tach.

it shouldn't matter if it's VDO/Motometer as long as they're from a late style cluster with the 7-LED service indicator.
