Such a neat product, but I personally think that this era of BMW gauge clusters are absolutely beautiful and don't think an LCD can do the same justice to the cars.
Agreed. Love my 07 Z4, it's an analog car to the core and better for me than all their current models. However, anyone with dead pixels should do this, have the original rebuilt and stored away.
Im curious to which one did you enjoy more? Like which one had less maintenance and headaches for you. I personally used to own a 07 x3 m and I loved it.
@@leonardnose5695 hi Leonard. My 2011 diesel was awesome. Torque monster, and it had the X5M suspension (steel springs). It was fast, and pulled like a freight train on the highway. It had NOX sensor issues often. One injector failed. Dealership wanted $2600.00 to replace one injector. I did it myself, cost under $500.00, NOT including the software to program the injector. Unfortunately I totaled it one morning on the way to work. I began a search for an E70 X5M. (I also own a 2000 e39 M5). Found one (2013) at a dealership, trade in. Garage queen. I love it. It is stupid fast. But, it will pass everything but a gas station. 13.5 MPG vs. 24 with the diesel. Still, I prefer the X5M. The maintenance doesn’t scare me as I do it myself. It has every option available at the time. Wish I had the room for both!
I know this might be a little late, but I have the N52 gasoline I6 variant and am thinking about moving up to a diesel now that I’m out of school. How was yours reliability wise? Did you do any mods? Anything to look out for? Thank you so much in advance brother 🙏🏼
Mate , as long as you don’t start promoting coffee , razorblades or other bits and pieces you’re okay. 100% sure subscribers just hate TH-camrs promoting junk that has really got nothing to do with there business.
@@rolex87 Yeah , so true ! So many “car “ you tubers out there promoting video games , wallets ,hair growing lotion and what not. They all think they’re so clever making a few extra bucks but I’m convinced they are actually hurting there channel !
You were like a kid in a toy shop with all the display options! I think you said you really liked several and were going to keep them, then another one would come up and you said you would keep that one! Love your line "why we have a Hyundai here?". You said it without skipping a beat lol.
Yes!! its a excellent question, I would like to know too, I´m intersted to replace to but I have to be sure that the camera is ok (talking about the resolution)
I noticed the top of the cluster bezel you removed had a row of vents across the top but the new bezel had none. Those flat screens put out a lot of heat.
Kudos Ninja, these displays look amazing. I have seen some Horendusly comical digital displays, they look like an 80s PacMan/Frogger games. Miss the gauge cluster from my 66 Thunderbird.
Initially i wasn't sold on it. Mostly cause it was trying to imitate a stock/analog gauge cluster and clearly was just a lcd panel. But once you set it up with the other layouts and even more so changed the coloring. I really like it. Has a nice feel to it stops trying to look like what it isnt. Which is one of my big gripes about digital clusters is they try to look analog. Personally i prefer analog until you can customize it to your liking and it stops trying to look analog. Then its does it match the look of the car.
OEM piece from the dealer for car that are a bit newer is lower depending on the dealer and their discounts, not to mention it’s much higher quality. Here you get a device that has a terrible quality screen, has less functions than a stock cluster, messes up the canbus and makes coding sometimes even code reading impossible. It’s a bad buy.
You are awesome! Great video👍 Just be gentle on pushing the screen 🫣 I’ve got mine today and I’ll do the DIY today on my BMW 335i E93 with installing the rear camera as well 🤜🤛
That's really cool. I wouldn't mind one for newer Silverado. I don't like the guage setup in it at all. Having oil pressure and coolant temp on the main page would be nice.
Can you program your car with the aftermarket cluster? When this cluster first came out I could have sworn that was a problem.. is there no problems with this LCD now .. if I have to program a new part I don’t want to have to put the old cluster in .. that was the reason I had not purchased this yet .. I watched another you tube video about a year ago .. Have a good one
Hope you get the engine mount package from FCP EURO. I just did mine on my 2012 E70 35i and it’s completely smooth again with the new OE mounts no vibration.
Beautifull,congrats on the unit! Are you able to clear check engine light with this unit and do you have to reset the service intevrals on the idrive screen? Thanks
Ninja… hi quick question what is your normal coolant temperature’s when driving… both in traffic and driving hard thx 🙏… your videos are perfect BTW straight to the point no BS 👍
Hey mate I have an x5 just wondering if you can change the black piece in the middle of the Idrive mouse also the fan speed button for blowers , mine are both worn and really let’s the interior down , cheers Alex
Considering this for my '10 E70 x5. It's very nice. Is the on you installed the Basic, Standard or Premium version? I really want that digital screen where you can see the temp gauge - do all versions have the screen option?
Such a neat product, but I personally think that this era of BMW gauge clusters are absolutely beautiful and don't think an LCD can do the same justice to the cars.
It looks closer to an analog gauge cluster than even BMW's own OEM digital clusters, so that should be considered a plus for ID4MOTION's product.
Have you had a chance to check it out in person yet Jake?
Agreed. Love my 07 Z4, it's an analog car to the core and better for me than all their current models. However, anyone with dead pixels should do this, have the original rebuilt and stored away.
I was thinking the same, however i like the OEM style digi dash to mimick the appearance, while modernizing the car a bit.
@@houseofno yep. If i had a new m5 I would swap this into it. That inside out and inverted weird tach and speedo on new ones is hideous
Even ninja's car has cek engine ligjt on. It's a humbling reality for the rest of us

This is one of the best aftermarket screens I have seen, the Modern Orange is so on point for an OEM BMW look.
The E70 X5 is the best styled SAV BMW has designed to date. I have owned two, a diesel, and currently an X5M. I like this gauge upgrade

Hi from the UK. That is an absolute game changer for anyone with pre 2012 cars, that love their ride but want to give it a modern feel. Love it...

Great looking new guage cluster display. The color of your BMW is beautiful.
After you turned it on, it looks great. Enjoy erjon! You are my favorite mechanic/channel to watch on TH-cam.
Awesome bud. You bring honor and integrity to our profession. Thank you, a fellow tech.
Love these videos on your daily driver as it is my wife’s daily driver. Learn so much about caring/ repairing it from you. Thanks.
Ninja,
Supplied rear camera might be worth adding as it may have a higher resolution from the factory unit
Yes!! its a excellent question, I would like to know too, I´m intersted to replace to but I have to be sure that the camera is ok (talking about the resolution)
No it’s not worth adding, it’s identical to the cameras you can get for 10 euro. They just charge 120 euro for it.
Beautiful x5 ngl. Especially the color, you don't see them very often in this color. Nice job like always 👍
Consider8ng this for my X5 as well. Glad to see it’s an easy install. Looks fantastic.
Thanks for the video Jonny, not a fan of electronic gauges but the temperature gauge is a pretty serious reason to consider one.
Cool! Even turn rotors there...thought it might be a lost art. Looks like a great display.
Definitely need this for my X5 diesel.
I would get this cluster just to replace the MPG gauge with water temp. I like the shift lights above the tach! Nice.
I have a very clean 2010 550i…I think this is the perfect addition to the car (…and CarPlay!)
I noticed the top of the cluster bezel you removed had a row of vents across the top but the new bezel had none. Those flat screens put out a lot of heat.
Wow. The new gauges look amazing.
i have a 2011 x3! Good choice ninja, that red is fire!
That looks awesome and easier than I would have thought. I have 2 x5 e53s, a 3.0 and 4.4 and I love them, x5s are awesome. 👍👍
You and the boys must have the patience of a saint
Really impressed with those gauges!
This is super cool, I'd love to have one in my X3. The metallic red is such a great color, same as my X3! Thanks for sharing!

Cool. And it is a dutch company!
Super cool screen ! Wish I had this on my 4.8 before I sold it
This is really cool. Looks like a properly made instrument cluster. Not cheap, but I’d hate to think of what a oem piece costs

That’s really nice, cool update
That is a cool instrument cluster.
Fades out in direct sunlight!
WOW...That is so cool....Thanks Jonny
I see it looks like they’re developing one for the E46. Can’t wait for one for my car 😁
Cool product. Ninja with all his skills pulls engines etc but hates putting on a screen protector. Lol. He’s funny.
It refreshed the cluster gauges.
You are awesome! Great video👍 Just be gentle on pushing the screen 🫣 I’ve got mine today and I’ll do the DIY today on my BMW 335i E93 with installing the rear camera as well 🤜🤛
I'd go for the retro Modern Orange, from the time that BMWs were still cool. 😎
Quite a cool upgrade.
The ending, why there's Hyundai here at that shop. 😂😂😂
It's funny
Probably the rental for the guy whose BMW is being worked on…🧐
That thing is sweet!!! Looks much nicer and has a cleaner look.
Funny because here in Australia we normally have to do the reverse of what the car ninja did in changing distance and temperature units.
This looks like a big improvement. I would not be surprised if this video ends up bringing some new customers to this ID4Motion company.
Great vid Johhny. They are well into development for an e46, and say that the e39 is next in line. Cant wait :)
FINALLY a use for my 5.5mm socket!
5.5 mm socket. Can't get more BMW than that. It will make seeing the check engine light more easy
That's really cool. I wouldn't mind one for newer Silverado. I don't like the guage setup in it at all. Having oil pressure and coolant temp on the main page would be nice.
They also do the E46 (wasnt in your list) , i can definitely see one finding a home in my M3 soon.
I liked White Pristine and Bright Austin looked good too
Those look great, wish they made them for my F10.
Thanks for the info on this gage cluster. I will be looking into this for my 2009 Z4 E89 with N54.
Super Jonny, and if you don't need that camera, please send for my X1 :)
Awesome Johnny 👍🏼⚡️
Wow, if I had that for my 2013 135i E88 that would be insane.

Still a problem.
Noticed during mid-video that your temperature gauge was way above the middle, hope you’re not having overheating issues
Please do a follow up on this for us, I like the idea but it’s a bit too pricey for my taste for my 2013 x5 E70. Still it’s a cool product
Love the Video's, keep em Going, always look forward to them. / BMW tech from Canada 🇨🇦 👌
The only thing I mind is how low the rev counter goes in the more analog looking themes
New instrument cluster looks good. Though why is the CEL on??
Looks great.
But still with the CIC system? Next thing install Carplay or Android auto.
I love this . I just wish it had a e70 in the back for the car
It looks great ! Scan the vehicle for that check engine light and you will be perfect !
I guess you missed the part where he explained the cel.
Too bad this cluster will mess up the canbus
Great video Jonny
Thanks for the info
Where is your shop located ?
What torch is that you use? Looks damn bright and very small!
Is it possible that you could film work done on your x5? I have a 2013 e70 35i, aswell. I need new engine mounts 🌚
Love the channel, bro.
Hope you get the engine mount package from FCP EURO. I just did mine on my 2012 E70 35i and it’s completely smooth again with the new OE mounts no vibration.
Very cool! I can see doing that on mine!

The backup camera they provided potentially may be high definition vs. the standard def from the factory.
It isn’t, it’s a cheap aliexpress 10 dollar camera. They just sell it for 120 euro
i just order mine for my x5 e53 2003 and i cant wait for it on my car
Can it do a countdown for the next self destruct time for Hoovie.
WHAAAAT A BMW WITH INDICATORS ,,,, damn technology is getting good ,,,, LOL
LOVE THE CHANNEL JONNY
How is removing the X5 cluster so easy and my Passat is a giant pain in the tail. Cool upgrade though, thanks Ninja.
Just noticed the Check Engine light was ON while driving?
You need to reinstall the original instrument cluster to do any programming to the car.
Beautifull,congrats on the unit!
Are you able to clear check engine light with this unit and do you have to reset the service intevrals on the idrive screen?
Thanks
Ninja… hi quick question what is your normal coolant temperature’s when driving… both in traffic and driving hard thx 🙏… your videos are perfect BTW straight to the point no BS 👍
Looks nice! You got any recommendation for carplay for the E70?
Hey mate I have an x5 just wondering if you can change the black piece in the middle of the Idrive mouse also the fan speed button for blowers , mine are both worn and really let’s the interior down , cheers Alex
You should buy tylers X5 and fix it
While the tech looks good on the new cluster I really think the old cluster looks better..
Wish they did iDrive systems, because I need a new one.
There are aftermarket replacement options for the iDrive screen. There are some Pretty phenomenal options out there.
What about the odometer? Will carfax show the new odometer?
Considering this for my '10 E70 x5. It's very nice. Is the on you installed the Basic, Standard or Premium version? I really want that digital screen where you can see the temp gauge - do all versions have the screen option?
Finally Jonny struggled with something, the screen protector. lol
That is awesome, do they do one for an e53?
That’s really cool
Great review
How dark does it get at night? Is it still scorching bright or does it get very dark
Can you get one that doesn’t show warning lights and engine codes?
That's brilliant!!
Clocks are awesome. How come your car is running hot?
Because it was sitting and idling indoors while we shot that. Once outside it cooled down.
I hope you can disable the annoying jumping display effect when you change gear...
Wish they made ones for W211
Wow, extremely Cool!
Website offers different versions. Which version did you get?
