Speed, Tachometer Cluster Change

I love the W220 interior, the updated one anyway but the tachometer always makes the car look older. My W211 E55's cluster which is shared with the CLK, CLS and E Class is so beautiful and modern while neat and easy to read. The W220 tach looks old, especially the orange on the needles, at night it's not bad but during the day you can see the needle's "trench" where it moves which I don't like.

The point is, has anyone swapped the tachometer with another model or has a company made an updated design?

What's wrong with the cluster of the CLS, E and CLK? It is beautiful, that's a no brainer. I don't know if you're joking or....?

This is the W220 S Class forum, not the R230 SL AMG forum

firstly, thats from an IWC edition, but regardless, the font his hideous and huge, and thats a manufacturer glamor shot.

Either way, the 220 gauges > that

....and don't tell me that's an IWC, I gave it as an example to display the layout. You could swap that white cluster you showed with an updated one and yes, the AMG tachs for the CLS, E and CLK (standard and BS) are amazing looking. Extremely modern and well laid out.

EDIT: Your comment came right before I clicked save

I love the W220 but serious, does the W220 cluster look better than that? We definitely need a vote here........opinions people give thy opinions
