Got my 135i cluster coded and installed. The coding part was very easy, followed the instructions above and had no issues there.

When installing the needles, you can use INPA to select the instrument cluster and run the gauge test and watch them sweep. It's possible to rotate the needles all the way to their internal stops and *very delicately* nudge them past the stop to tweak the position. I found it easiest to adjust them close to zero.

When I started up the car I used Protool (you could also use INPA) to watch the RPM, oil temp, and speed. As soon as my oil temp got over 160 it started reading on the gauge, fuel level looked correct, speed and RPM looked good.

Super awesome mod, thanks to chris_flies for the excellent DIY.
