instrument clusters

[Dizzy]

Any one no for sure if a later type instrument cluster will fit a early 89 model?

Yes, the blue-back instrument clusters will work with your brown-back one however the odometer reading and coding plug settings of the blue-back will be displayed. Be sure to find a cluster from the same type of E34 as yours. Otherwise, if yours is a 535i stick-shift and the replacement instrument cluster is from a 525i automatic, the odometer, tachometer, and possibly speedometer could be off.

Cheers,

David

This is a subject you should discuss with a priest, minister, rabbi, or other spiritual advisor.

If your cluster is bad, replacing capacitors MAY bring it back. It did mine. And you might just have oxidized multipin connector terminals.
