Hello to all. My first time on this site. It looks very helpful from what I've been reading. I have a 2003 BMW Z4 3.0 that came from the USA. I live in Canada and need to change my speedometer from MPH to Kilometres. Dose any one know of a quick conversion kit. I have seen gauge overlays for $400 to $500. Canadian. I was also looking at just getting a speedometer from a wrecker's yard and just taking out the gauge face. Any ideas or information on contacts would be appreciated.
Changing the cluster requires a bit of programming. Otherwise you’ll get the infamous “tamper dot” in the cluster. Where have you looked for gauge faces? You could buy a non-working cluster from the US and swap the face.
Thanks for you reply. I don't intend on changing the cluster, because of the Tamper dot. I have found gauge overlays and conversion plates here in Toronto, but they seem very expensive. I was putting it out there, just incase someone had a quick fix idea, or an old Kilometre cluster laying around they wanted to sell. I would simply use the speedo plate. I'll probably just buy one from a wrecker yard.
Getting a km cluster from a junked car is likely your best option. Check YouTube for the process of getting the cluster face off. You’ll have to remove the gauges’ needles, and that takes real patience.
👍
You can swap clusters and recode them to not get the tamper dot. Its not that hard at all
If you swap just gauge faces, the gauges will read kmh and odometer will read and say miles... Thats the wrong way to do it
