I have an e46 cluster from a 330i. I would like to know if anyone has wired one up in an e30 yet? the plugs are similar to that of an e30 cluster, except for the plugs behind the temp and fuel guage.

The electrical on that cluster is COMPLETELY different,
You may be able to work with teh gauges seperately, but consider the stock mobo useless as it has nothing to really interface to.
Plus the all the gauges would need to be recalibrated.
and finally, how do you plan to actually make it look decent/fit into the car?

I'm not interested in getting it fully functional i just want the guages to work and some of the signal lights to work. How would I go about recalibrating the guages? I will worry about cosmetics if i can get the cluster to function. If you had them out of the cars and side by side you would see that they arent very different in size so it wouldn't take much to make a bezel to fill in the gaps.

Thats a Z3 cluster, not an E46 cluster.
The way the cluster interacts with the rest of the car and gets its information is totally different; it's not just simple input and output signals like the E30. Later cars share info on a communication bus and that cluster wont run without some sort of interface to mimic that.Adam Fogg- '88 M3
Common sense- It's the new 'gifted'
