Question Whats your opinion on these chrome rings from Bimmian

Has anyone used their rings for their instrument cluster and how easy was it to install?

installed their rings. the directions were for a different model and the dremel had to come out to make them work.
seems like par for the course. ive ordered from them a few times and every order had negative issues.

The photo shows flat-bottomed rings, which won't work in the X, and they're $60! I could get 2 sets from ebay for that!

When you say you had to bust out the Dremel, what exactly did you have to do with it?

Just received the rings today, the rings are round and the ones shown in the picture is for the 3 series not for the X5. So if you order the right model it should be the round rings instead then the ones shown, I was a little nervous when I saw that as well.
