Small speedo mod
 

Hi

this weekend I finally took the opportunity to receive a mod for my speedo. A friend is specialist for fixing pixel failures. Additionally he had a set of customized ///M speedo foils and we put everything together (incl. the chrome gauge rings) and red needles..

Everything works well again now without any pixel failure and the X looks more powerful than ever (OK, everyone knows it´s no ///M but it is the most powerful letter in the alphabet). Additionally it fits to the also ///M look pedals

So what do you think?

BTW: I´m still looking for angel eyes into my Xenons. Are there german users who can tell me where to do this? I would not like to use the "cardevil" tuning stuff as it looks cheap and creepy.....

Where can you buy 4,6is front lips in Germany besides BMW original parts (price is :wow:)

Looks like a job well done.Congrats,
The "M" Dials background seem to be a faint grey,instead of black as on the oem!Is this because you camera over exposed or are they like that?
With regards to the 4.6is front spoiler,I had to buy mine from Bmw:(

indeed
 

Yes, the ///M are grey, as they are naturally..

The flash of the cam makes it even more bright...

here is a bit better pic (taken from my former E39 which had the same mod)

Try tro take some pics in the dark, looks awesome, too!

Looks great - is the speedo still accurate

Are the rings reasonably straight fwd? I just ordered a set and being mechanically retarded as I am - thought I'd give the install a go myself

nice job on yours BTW

how did he fix the pixel failures? my pixels are going out, and mileage is barely visible.

thanks in advance.

Sorry,you are right,the 4.6is dials are grey just like yours...I think it was the chrome rings that made the camera over expose..
I bet at nightthe dials look even nicer...:thumbup:

+1...I would also like to know that:thumbup:

It looks faster.. hahaha

I like small interior mods like these better than small exerior mods... at least these visual mods will be enjoyed every minute that you are driving the car. :thumbup:
