Two of my 162’s are bent with hairline cracks otherwise I’d keep the original look

Gotta say, photo winner for the cleanest looking engine bay following a Mickey Mouse flange failure. Hope this weeks tire/flange failures are done now and you can move on to enjoying the new Xenons.

When you get it, connect new cluster ot car temporarily and read the guage programming off it, then swap the faces and nicer needles over on the 328… and use perfekt to convert your 328 cluster to have temp, and install the matching stepper motor steps that the 335 cluster used on rpm and mph to correctly index the mph and tach sweep since the font and everything is slightly different on 335.

Takes a couple of hours, but beats having to try to revirginize a cluster which takes even longer amd is more of a hassle.

I bought a cluster from an '07 328i E92... https://bimmer.work/vin/p81fe7fa39c6...d5681667c4112/

Do you presume I can skip the rpm/tach changes as they will be the same? And just pull the oil temp numbers?

I've been reading this thread, and should probably post question there, but here we are...

Black lines now installed,
had to replace a rear brake carrier bolt as one worked loose and disappeared.
Quick trip to junkyard and was quickly sorted.
then gave it a quick wash since temps were moderately cool and there was shade. Still need to give interior a wipe down.
Love how wet the style 95 wheels look when clean.


Love the “bone stock pre-FL interior”,
Btw just in the last interior close up pic there are at least 6 mods visible,
can you spot them all? (Aka Where’s Waldo for e9x geeks)

Yes, in that case it’s just face swap and coding the temp instead of mpg then.

Waiting on a tow. Have the aluminum flange coming in Monday - wish it was this weekend, but, well. Failed under pressure so in addition to a mess everywhere I’ll need to bleed + refill my cooling system…

People: If you haven’t changed yours yet, if it’s been a while and it’s plastic. Just change it!! Save yourself the hassle!!!

Oh. And the new headlights came in. That was going to be the project this weekend.

thank you for this post.

Just reminded me that I bought a alu flange for my N52 before my swap, and I never used it.

And my N55 is 170k km, all original, no maintenance on it but oil.

So your post buttkicked me to do the flange, and oh boi it was close,

Mickey Mouse flange is in - key for reference is using silicone spray. Passenger headlight is in, drivers side soon to follow…
