There's a forum member that does this conversion...his name is Blackknight 530i. See the link below which is a thread about the M5 cluster conversion. He'd be a person to seek out about this...and if you read through the multple page thread...no doubt you'll pick up even more info that intimates what it takes to get a full functioning M5 cluster to work in a non M BMW.
If you have the low cluster and low MID...installing a high cluster will take even more things to accomplish...you'll need a high MID or Nav to go with the M cluster (which is a high cluster)

Thanks for the info Q! Yes I do have a high cluster and nav, so that should make things easier. As for the mileage, the new cluster has less miles than the car. So in theory, If I update the VIN with PA Soft, the mileage should cary over from the LCM after the 60 mile period. Does that sound right?
