Replaced my odometer gears a few weeks ago with the help of this thread and another DIY that helped me get the cluster out of the dash. What a great resource! Not that difficult. Took about 5 hours total. Here is all I have to add:
1. Purchased the replacement gears from odometergears.com. Great service and I had the gears in 3 days. I bought the complete set, but it only comes with 4 gears and our cluster has a total of 5. The last gear was still ok, so I left it on.
2. If you have an airbag car, DO NOT HOOK THE BATTERY BACK UP WITH THE AIRBAG REMOVED. This will trigger the SRS light, and I still haven't figured out how to turn it off. Unfortunately, my next stop will be the stealership, but I've read posts on other threads about dealerships that couldn't even figure out how to reset it.

any problems using vdo gears as opposed to motometers? however, after you take off the face/bezel or whatever, the main cluster thing has motometer stamped right on it....1991 325iC - Mauritsblau sumthin metallic blue. DEAD

Is he saying the gears are interchangable or does he mean the entire speedo with odometer attached into the other cluster? Cause thats what it sounds sounds like. Well let us know if it works. Cause the VDO gears from the guy in Spain is way cheaper.

Haven't installed it yet. rough weekend+this week so far. too tired to get airbagpunched by my car. maybe this weekend. anyhoo. Lastly, it appears the smallest gear, on the VDO it has a backing to it, while the moto's dont'.
this one, the top is a motometer the bottom are VDO's.
