Hello, guys.
I am currently in the middle of designing E36 US and E36 M3 US cluster plasma gauges. And I would appreciate if somebody uploaded a good quality pictures.
I know non M3 and M3 gauges are a little bit different, 7000RPM on non M3 and 8000RPM on M3, economy MPG gauge has a scale from 50 to 10 on non M E36 and 40 to 8 on M3 models.
Can somebody also upload a UK E36 and M3 gauges as well. Which one is with temp gauge instead of MPG gauge? Is it from UK (MPH) or EURO (KMH) gauge cluster?
Any pics would be appreciated.
P.s. PM me if you want to know more info on Plasma Dials in MPH for US market.
Cheers.
Danius

Well, it can be any type of gauges. I mean, they can be in the cluster, I just need to see what they look like. Cause I live in Ireland and my car is German, so my gauges are in KMH and I don't know how the others look like.
I've gotten couple of pics when googled, but they are not big enough. I need a good resolution ones.
Any help appreciated.
ill get u some tom

Hey buddy.
I have some pics of my cluster - I hope you can use them, or send me an email and I'll take some other for you.
this is from a 3.0 M3 (kmh) cluster

Thank you, andershhDK. I didn't have euro E36 M3, that's my catalogue now
That is interesting, I though all non M3 US models had 160MPH. But DUAHH, European models have 220, 240 and 260 KMH, so US models have to be the same only in MPH.
Is 140MPH dial the same for 318 models?
roarf, how come your 2.8 liter car's max speed lower than my 2.5 liter euro's? Is this the same as with M3s, Euro models faster than US? I though this wasn't applied to non M cars.

i have 160 mph on my non-m
I think the OBDI cars have the cluster that goes up to 160 and needles that are slightly different.. the colored part goes all the way through the center. This older cluster is also what is used on all E36 M3's, regardless of OBDI vs. OBDII, I think, with the addition of the red needles. Lemme see if I can find some more pictures for comparison.
Edit:
Here's a Euro non-M.

Yeah, I love the light up red needle feature on EURO models Here is mine:
Loving the night look
That is the reason I need as many different cluster pics as I can get. We have 160 MPH non M US 7000RPM and E36 M3 US 160 MPH 8000RPM cluster faces designed already Working on the other ones at the moment.

Damn, that looks really nice dude. I'm not usually a fan of plasma dials, either.

Yeah. Once you have a nice design, they really look cool We are going for more stock look at daytime and blue look at nightime

Is there any chance you'll be make a 318 version? I think our clusters are slightly different.

Let's say a guy has a US market M3 with MPH and he installs gauges with KMH. Do you think it would work out? Or would he need some calibration to be done on it?
I don't think there is anything else that could be different between US and European models.
Anybody?
By the way, we got our first templates done of MPH dials. I shall be uploading them later on if anybody's interested

If you can get those gauges to match the amber color of the stock gauges, i'll get a set.
