Can you elaborate, what are you after? You cannot go down on mileage by changing to a speedo that has less on it.

Don't waste your time, it will give an error message. They are not plug and play, it's not like swapping rims. If you want the white face cluster you'll need to buy a new one and it runs around $700 if I recall.

Yeah they make it tougher to lower your mileage these days. I guess you will have to drive the car less...

MB must have smartened up. on the US 210s, they are pretty much PnP, and
your car assumes the mileage of the new cluster. Dealer can help readjust
the mileage (one time, reports an MB tech), though there is (are) vendor in
SoCal who does this as well for a fee.

Dealer should be able to adjust the mileage of a new cluster upwards (I guess an old one too). Downwards if it only has a very low mileage, like to make the cluster show 0 km/miles when leaving the shop new (to compensate mileage from transport from the factory).

Some claim they are able to adjust the mileage downwards too but the car might still be aware of the original mileage, this info is stored not only in the cluster.

I guess BMW does not care if owners tamper with their mileage...
