It's always fun when all the parts you've been putting aside, come together.

^ Yep that oil is only for M cars. I don't think that's what you're looking for.

and i have e92 328i (n52). I've been using Mobil 1 0w-40 (LL-01 certified) | normally BMW recommended their own 5w-30 high performance oil. You need a 5w-30 or 5w-40 synthetic oil in that car. Your current M1 0w-40 is a fine oil for that car. On my dads N52 motor I run Lubro Moly 5w-40 engine oil. I use this on all my European cars and am pleased. I have also cut the 25,000km oil change intervals by BMW to around 8,000km.

So people who own or owned BMWs know that the instrument cluster at night is basically orange so I coded my 750i cluster to be the same cluster you see during the day, this is not my picture but this is what my cluster looks like at night instead of the god awful orange; |

That's a nice feature on the new BMWs though apparently that orange is easy on the eyes since airplanes also use that colour.

I love the amber. It's classic BMW and its the color that least affects your night vision unlike white and that's why they chose that.
That white is nice too though.

You guys are right about been easier on the eyes but I find that daytime cluster is much more crisper especially at night, I'm going to drive around with it and see how I like it. It's basically a 5 minute job to code it back but it would be nice to have a switch to go between the day and night cluster.
