No . Only way is to have the cluster recoded to match the miles stored in other locations on the vehicle.

unfortunately not because the mileage stored at the other places on the vehicle keep accumulating as you drive

Your BMW shop is wrong. If you assume it has halted storing mileage at other places then why store mileage at other places anyway.

Wow FeelGood,
I was just checking into changing the gauge dials to grey (4.4-8 style) while I'm in there to do the rings when I found this thread. Looks good but the issues you've run into are exactly what made me think otherwise.
I'm not sure what your initial goal was, but there may be suppliers who can change the background/color scheme of the dials without an entire cluster change-out. I recall an older post from someone who had a shop that would do that very affordably if they had 20-30 initial orders. We'd just have to agree on colors (likely the white-on-grey dials would be a natural choice).

Good luck with the recode. Oh, last note: since you bought it on Ebay, beware that there are mileage reset/change tools there, but apparently you can't use them without taking it to a dealer!! (Kinda silly since they'll obviously have their own!). Just thought I'd mention it, since it might cross the mind to go around the dealer- I don't think there's a way to...
Best,
M
