i know this is a stupdi qnz

but wat exactly is the difference between a EL reverse dial and a normal dial?

reverse exactly meanin wat?

lol its simple...

normal = letters and numbers lit up

reverse = background (the white or black bit) is lit up and the numbers aren't

ohhhz lol

it doesnt matter if its auto or manual, the only part the new dials cover is the tacho, speedo, and other gauges (which are all lit up blue), everything else is the same.

as for s1 and s2 i'm almost 100% sure it wont make any difference

almost.. lol

cant wait to get mine!!!

Yeah thakns for that TMPTED, I'm pretty sure it will fit both series 1 and series 2 as most ppl have confirmed here, it will also fit non-turbo, all you do is just not install the turbo dial and install the rest, suppose if you want you could put in the turbo gauge dials too, for a bit of rice? lol

Be in quick if you guys still want these dials, I am making the order by WEDNESDAY 13th!!!!!!! Get your money in before then or at least tell me you want a set, I'll be getting a few extras but I can't guarantee everyone a pair. If you can't make the payment date let me know and I'll reserve you one

wait a minute do they look like the one that dazsQ posted in the first message or the ones in the installation guide?? cos they are very different looking dials...

TMPTED

Yeah they do look a bit different. Sorry about that guys.

I assume that the pic dazsQ posted will be accurate for the lit dials.

The only examples I can find anything like this on the web are these from Rezz's diary. The only reason I post this is that you can see no matter what colour they glow at night, they will be white faced in the day. I assume that the ones here will be white faced in daylight.

Can you confirm this daz?

Personally I'm in no matter what the daylight colour :P

Simon

they look like exactly in my first post when lit up, in day time they're white, sorry guys haven't been able to get a pic in daytime form, but they do look good, much better than the ones in blackgtst's post, the red line is red of course and theres 2 shades of blue for the km's and the intervals, dunno if that helps explain it or not

    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 馃槀馃槀 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
    • A pretty cool little feature discovered while restoring my seats.     
    • Great write ups / details / photos. I'm sort of on the road to E90 ownership (325i or 330i), haven't hit the fork in the road yet "Yes" | "No", and some of the issues you've faced have me nervous for the age these are getting to nowadays (that wiring, jesus), but I'm guessing the pro's of ownership are still outweighing the con's? Of course, if the bloody tattslotto ROI actually went my way...E90 M3. And I'd have the cash to do all the extra lovely maintenance THOSE require. 馃槃
    • They sure do, great for when you need to chuck a sickie 馃槄   You should definitely give the beast a squirt on the track, great to enjoy the car
