I have guage problems in my E30. The tach and temp guage are both dead. I am just going to buy another gauge cluster with a 7k tach insetad of a 5k and put it in my car. Here is the question: I have a motometer unit, are all the speedometers on the E30's the same or does a VDO have to go with a VDO cluster and visa-versa. Later.

I replaced the SI board batteries and somehow managed to kill the temp gauge in the process. I was trying to fix the tach, hoping dead batteries was the cause. I guess it could be the SI board, but at $110 for the SI board its just cheaper to buy another cluster on ebay. I am pretty sure the SI board is shot though, the green, yellow, and red LED lights for the service intervals wont reset.

I was hoping that the speedo's were interchangable, my speedo works fine and I want to keep the mileage correct. Thanks.
