9/15/2018 - I had ordered some gauge overlays from a seller on eBay and ordered them in gray (to mimic the E39/E46 generation M's and 335iS). I went ahead and installed them and tried my hand at wrapping the needles in a transparent red film. It is extremely hard to get the overlays laid down without any bubbles and the needle wrap job did not work out as well as I had hoped. The overlays also are dim at night when lit up even at max brightness. A lesson learned here.
