Upgrade Instrument Cluster?

I own a 2006 E500.

I'm looking to replace the original gauge cluster with one that has bigger engine temperature and fuel gauges and comes with a digital clock instead of the original analog clock.

Would any guague clusters from other Mercedes classes or models fit the W211?

Nope. Any W211 cluster SHOULD work except maybe the E55 unit. The only upgrade I know that works is normal cluster to sport package cluster.

I checked a few photos online and the CLS cluster looks great. So how do I go about doing this? Is there a step-by-step DIY guide?

Thanks.

A CLS instrument cluster complete with a programmed IC and ECU which I can then take to a local shop and have them install it.
