M Speedo/Dash clock surround

Post by MACK » Sun May 14, 2017 9:04 am

Daft question but am I right in saying that the 2 silver bezels that surround the dash clocks on the e85/6's is a different colour on the M cars?

Yep they are different , the M is more silver the standard is more graphite . The M is the first and the Standard is second ( note . I have done the red needle mod on the standard speedo needles )

Also the lights inside Speedo are different:)
Ps I know rally says you can simply pull these out
But I daren't until know for sure can on ms

As I have dust on back of plastic I'd love to get off!
So anyone know if these simply pull out and the clear plastic comes out with it????

The binicale of the standard car. Is removed with one screw which is between the two dials. It then simply pulls out and you can detach the cable on the rear. The speedo front cover ( clear front and surround ) is then simply held on with a few screw and clips, just remove, clean out dust and replace .

If you search the " how too " section I think bing did a write up on this . Can't see the M being any different .

Thanks for the replies. I did think they looked a nicer silver colour on the m car photos you see on the net. Just wasnt sure it was just an illusion. Wouldn't mind changing mine for the spec silver ones and red needles as well as the black roll over hoops. Guess I'll add that to my wanted list

Dietcokeman can you send me bin file of your Z4M cluster or just ncsexpert coding?
My spido is damaged and I can't find this file anywhere :-(

I would gladly send you, if I knew what you were talking about ? What is a bin file ? What is ncsexpert coding ? Sorry I genuinely don't know ?
