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.
Ooh, that’s an idea. I just might give that a shot. I really like the early e9x M3 gauges. Thanks!
