Dialedin, I’ve seen those e-dash displays floating around the internet, thought it was very cool but I was skeptical. How does it perform?

I like that it shows you the coolant temp, oil temp and oil level. And it brings a more modern feel to the entire car. |

Finally got my new summer wheels installed! Took forever to get a square setup of 437m's off an F8x M car. Bored the centers to 74.1 and refinished the lips. Dropped almost 11lbs per corner with these wheels . The X5 is in desperate need of a bath but I've run out of time in the weekend. Original weight was 65lbs with the 467s and the same 255/50R19 DWS's.

Are you going to put lowering springs on at all? It would look pretty amazing... more so that is! |

No plans to lower. This is my mountain/tow vehicle so I want to keep the ride height stock. |

Pulled off the PPF on my car in preparation for full polish and ceramic coat.
It’s going to be a project as I want to do that, clean the wheels and coat them, paint the gross calipers and brake hubs as they’re surface rusted. |

Yeah, I get that. I'm the same way with ours. I love the idea of how it would look with a lower ride height, but we definitely need the clearance for the occasional drive up the mountain roads.

Having used the digital cluster for a little while I will revert back to the stock cluster.
1) I have a diesel with a 5500 RPM rev limit, the cluster has an 8000 RPM rev limit better suited for a petrol car. 2) I can't calibrate the speedometer with Perfekt Toolbox to read the accurate speed. I really enjoy having the accurate/GPS speed displayed. 3) The firmware is locked. I could edit the firmware as it is a simple .zip archive with a bunch of text and image files to fix the above mentioned issues, but the .zip file is password protected. The password is likely in Chinese characters and impossible to crack. Others have tried to crack the password before me. Last edited by DialedIn; 03-20-2024 at 06:21 AM.. |
