The cluster here looks like on from a W212. Looks more sophisticated to me than the simple 204 cluster.

Why the need for extra clocks / timepieces?
Hell, you have one on the LCD display, you have one on your wrist and one on your cell phone.
Personally, I'd rather have two or four more gauges where the analog clock is. Gauges that will, at a glance, tell me about how the engine is doing. Water temp, oil temp and pressure, IAT's, whatever.

Average drivers prefer an easy to read clock more than the transmission oil temperature.

I do have the model in the Avatar.
No, I don't have oil pressure, oil temperature, Intake Temperatures, etc. in the cluster LCD.
I have to use my DashDaq for that. Well, no oil pressure on the DD either, but at least I have oil Temp, IAT and the like.
We're not supposed to do a lot of things we do while driving our cars. But we still do them.

I actually like that a lot better, design taken from the new E class.
Im also fine with my 09 since we also get the hood guages. If I had an 08, I would consider switching

Maybe for the older guys the clock is easier to read, but us new young guys the digital clock on the cluster and radio screen and phone are much easier to read. i agree with sathinas about the intake temp and oil pressure/temp. no need to have more clocks -_-

I really like this! 08 cluster is too plain. Any idea where I can get this and approximately how much it would cost ?? thanks

Cluster looks a lot higher end and reminds me immediately of Porsche or some other sport car - can't recall exactly.
Clock is fine but would be cool if you could get the Navi in there.

The stock 2008 cluster and the updated 2009 + later clusters look fine.
I think they look really good actually.
That cluster does look like an E style cluster, with a low redline by the way, must be a diesel or something.
I say the cluster in all these cars are decent, and we should just live with them.

I like it. Looks like what I saw in the new E class I checked out at the dealer last month. The clock is a bit big and worthless but otherwise I like it. I'm afraid to inquire on the price though. I would prefer the hooded cluster vs. my non-hooded '08 cluster.

Just oil level.
