If the mileage is lower that the donor, after coding, the instrument cluster should update the mileage from the Lamp Module(transferred from the EWS module) usually within the first 11-20 miles of driving. If your modifying the VIN you might as well update the mileage while your in there. Some eeproms cannot be over written and must be replaced with a new one.

thanks all for your reponsesl.
I haven't even plugged this 4.8iS cluster into my 2005 4.4i yet to see if all clusters work yet, but I did run the part number adn it is from a 4.8iS (not an e39M5 or 4.6iS thankfully).
I'll research more how to clear the problems (VIN/Mileage/tamper dot), with my software soon tho.
I didn't think the Oil Temp and RPM LEDs worked automatically tho... I so thought coding was necessary, but this is amazing to hear. Light at the end of the tunnel. The ONLY thing I will not like about going to this cluster is the fuel gauge on my Canadian (and perhaps other country models) is in L and not quadrants (1/4, 1/2, 3/4, F) as I like how BMW does that compared to almost all other manufacturers. But, first world problems there
