Exclamation BMW M550i 6WB M5-Look instrument cluster

Dear members,

I'm a proudly owner of a BMW M550i G30 from 2017 (PRE-LCI). I am trying to figure out if there is any way of coding the M5-look cluster theme to my car.

I've coded the M3-theme for a friend of mine on his G20 from 2019. I see the option for this particular option but, nothing changes.

I've found a CAFD file of an actual F90 for the instrument cluster but cannot inject it.

Do you guys know how to code it? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

TBH i wouldn't code it. It stops you from having your dash change its look when you swap between modes eco/sport/comf

It’s not possible without changing the cluster the f90s have different hardware I made a thread retrofitting a f90 cluster in a g30
The g20s have id7 and the newer clusters have the same hardware as the m cars it’s just coding but on the older 6wb clusters it’s different hardware


Here’s the thread

@jagyro

Hi mate!

Can you maybe give me some instructions on how to code it?

I've already the M5 i-drive menu coded. I just want to see how the M5 dash looks like.

Thanks in advance!
