Is it possible to chop and change clusters? I fancy getting an M3 one and swapping the speedo over so it shows mph on the proper UK dials (the real reason is im after the oil temp gauge but i might aswell make it perfect while im at it).
Also would the mileage creep up in kilometers instead of miles still? I assume it would...

I found an easy way to get the temp sensor in to the engine, some of the M30 oil filter caps have provisions for a temp sensor. So to find on in a scrappy!
