I had my cluster coded to work with the straight six and my VIN, since it's originally coded to work with the V8 M3.
Buy a brand new 1M cluster and it would plug in and work instantly.
I wanted the M3 cluster and went through all the BS to get it done and I love it in the car. Dan from BMW on these forums would give sell you one and explain the process to you.

This is not right!!
Every gauge needs to be coded to work porperly, whether it`s used or brand new!
I think I am the only person that installed a used m3 gauge and a brand new 1m gauge. Both needed the coding.
Especially on the m3...
The rpm band won`t work, your next services will not appear and so on!
I had the brand new uncoded gauge installed while I was waiting for it to be coded! It did not work right!
Above I posted a link to ebay where a supplier sells a new gauge plus the coding.

I could tell you but I think you remember this thread!

The gauge itself will work on a dct car, but it will not show up the gears in the display.
