E36 Dials in an E30

Hi Guys,

Upon doing an M50/M52 conversion have you ever wired in the dials from an e36 as well. Would this be difficult to do?

Thanks,

Why? Is my question....

E30 clocks work perfectly fine with the swap, e30 brown temp sensor in the block gives dash correct temp reading

Just something different and also I like how the dials light up.

I've seen an E30 with an Alpina 3.2 lump in it, with all the E36 dash and clocks in it, and it doesn't look good

Took ages, pouring through the wiring diagrams, to get it working to an acceptable level, but still dont have the warning feature/obc in the cluster working 100%. Fitting it into the binnacle was another challenge which took ages to get right.

Sounds epic, have you some pics mate?
