Agreed... most car companies don't consider the consumers desire to change parts like this so it is rarely designed user friendly.

I also know that no endorsement of the mentioned product was made in this thread. It was simply a good to know kind of thing so I am not making any implications towards anybody here.

They might give you guys some ideas on mod'ing your instrument clusters(kombi). You can search on ebay.de for: "e82 kombi tacho" or Tachoscheibe Tacho or

Yup, I'm at Mildenhall and will be for the next 2.5 years. Just got here in January after a 9 year stint at Robins working for Depot. I've had mine since July 2008 and got it in Georgia after my '04 STi.
