Let me know how many people are interested. I will do it cheap if a bunch of people want it done...any color!
Very interested in Blue, but going without for the time it takes to mod and ship both ways is what is stopping me. Any chance you could pre-purchase a set of boards and then swap them?

Here is a question I have. Is the odometer information kept in the speedometer, or is it kept in the cars computer and sent to the speedometer? I have a spare speedometer and if the information is kept within the car, then I could just have the spare one soldered up with new LEDs. If not, well, I don't want to know what BMW would charge to reformat the speedo with the correct information, if they are allowed to do it at all. My guess is it's kept within the car, or all someone would have to do is pop out their speedo and run without it to keep the miles down.

All info related to the odometer and onboard computer is stored in the car and will display the same when the unit is plugged in again. It is a good idea to right down your mileage and the numbers located on the white tags (attached to speedo and tach) in case you need to have anything recoded.
