You absolutely need to modify the cluster to fit, and the screw holes do not line up no matter what you do. I ended up cutting off the "brim" on the M3 cluster and gluing on the "brim" from the 1 series cluster. It doesn't look great if you look for it but you wouldn't notice if you weren't looking for it.
The other avenue that could be explored, which I tried, is putting the guts of the m3 cluster in the 1 series pod. This would require cutting out the black divider piece of both and fitting the M3 one in the 1 series cluster. The electronics and gauges and everything fit just fine, it's just the center parts that are different.
