what do you think of these dials.
i need a new set because my mpg sticker is peeling off and there's a crack in the screen. i kinda like them but i'm afraid they might be a little boy-racerish. i think they could be attractive in a car with no other interior mods. anyone ever try to fit a set of these? am i likely to do irrepairable damage? can i replace with new originals if need be? |

Sad, very sad - but hey, that's just my opinion. You like them, go for it, just don't expect me to agree! |

Whats sad about them? The fact you don't like them?
They're a modification, plain and simple - you either like them or you don't. Had them in my 320i and loads of people liked them - I took them out because I grew tired of them. |

Exactly! The same reason that I took off my white indicators! |

Haven't ever seen an OEM replacement. You can get grey/silver ones which look very similar to the E46 M3 ones though.

lockwood international dials were always good quality, but was a bit disappointed that they didn't replicate that "escort cossie" backlit look on the cars i fitted them to |

if you're replacing the dials with whatever colour consider these while you've got the instrument cluster in bits:

I can tell you what my standard E30 M3 look like at night - off! Nasty "bright" lights bothering me whilst I'm trying to drive. Huh! |

Speed you can judge (race cars don't have speedos after all and their drivers seem to manage ok ) Revs you can hear - who looks at the rev-counter to know when to change gear? Fuel? Little orange light comes on when I'm low (& blinds me!) |
