today's project-gauge cluster rings
 

Took about 30min from removal to reinstall with minor trimming of the rings. Gives it a whole new feel can't wait for the first drive. You can also see how much better the display looks with the white led bulbs.

Looks great - well done. Project is coming along nicely! :)

Thanks! I hope to do the lights next.

or the door actuator since it'd be nice to use the passenger door lol.

Is that a kit? Where did you get your parts? Looks great!

Many sellers on e-bay, here's one....

BMW Cluster Instrument Panel E38 E39 E53 x5 Satin Silver Dash Trim Rings | eBay

Did mine around 4 yrs ago, went with satin silver, chrome is available too.

Thanks! led instrument lights from ebay as well?

I never did the LED mod. My OE lights have stood the test of time.

One of the very first mods I did to my 3.0 about 8 years ago. It's crazy how much different it looks with those rings! Enjoy!

Thanks. ebay for both but bought separately.

It really is a huge difference, enough to make you feel like you're driving a newer bmw, love it even more when the clearer display. Thanks
