C32 AMG cluster
Friend of mine told me about a place selling an instrument cluster (and a few other parts) from a wrecked C32 AMG. i was curious if i could buy it and swap out my stock one? I know when i was looking into getting the M3 cluster for my 330 coupe, there's a mileage tamper light which senses a different cluster and cannot be reset unless brought into BMW even if they show the same mileage. i don't wanna tamper with it but this cluster has about 2,100 miles on it and since i haven't even gotten my C sedan yet, i was hoping to swap the clusters when my car hits the 2,100 miles so it comes out even. any tamper indicators or would i have to bring it to the dealer to program it my car?

ok here's what i was told by a mechanic. if i try swapping the cluster on the current C230, there's going to be mileage tampering indications when the dealer plugs into the car. telling me there are 4 or 5 different computers in different locations of the car that record the mileage and if one doesn't match up perfectly (like the cluster, or if the cluster is not reprogrammed to that car), then MB will consider it as tampering and is a felony. so i'm gonna leave it alone. no need taking a chance. unless this is untrue. does this sound right?

I also believe the mileage information is stored in the key. This info came frome a friend who rolls back odometers, so I assume he knows what he is talking about.
