Which instrument clusters can I use in my 2016 M235i?
Hi:
My 2016 F23 M235i ZMT USA model has the low level "combi" Instrument cluster (small central LCD, no MOST). I want to upgrade to a newer IC - Preferably the blacked-out version. I have [lots of] questions: a) anyone have a list of part numbers that will work? Will ANY MPH one work (with proper virginizing and coding)? b) what is the difference between the MID and HIGH euro IC's? Will either work with my Lame, no-nav HU_ENTRNAV? I understand I will need to add MOST connection between HU and IC. my EN2 HU has unused 2 MOST ports on Quadlock c) does the US IC come in blackout style? d) does the pre-LCI IC have the oil temp display option and the larger digital speed readout, or are those only LCI features? e) will I be able to select an "M235i" logo in the LCI IC, or is that only available in the pre-LCI? f) Could I use an M2 IC? it has an 8K tach - would that be a problem (as long as I control myself!)? Sorry for all the questions. I wish someone knowledgeable about this stuff would do a tutorial. Thanks! Dave |

Go to www.realoem.com and enter the last 7 characters of the car's vehicle identification number (VIN). Hit enter and bookmark the page. Scroll down to instruments and measuring systems to see what cluster is in your car. Then, go back to www.realoem.com but this time use the dropdown menus to build a car like your car. Scroll down to instruments and measuring systems to see what other clusters were installed in your model year bimmer.

My equipment - cool! I really want to use an LCI dash though, which would too be in my year, but I know people have made it work. |

The 2016 M235i is equipped with an Electronic Cluster (EC) as standard. This is a full-color LCD display that shows engine performance, speed, fuel level, and other vehicle information. You can upgrade to the Sport Instrument Cluster (SIC) or the Technology Instrument Cluster (TIC). The SIC features a black and white LCD display with enhanced graphics and additional information, while the TIC features a full-color LCD display with navigation and infotainment system functions.
