Thanks mate, with the needles you can just take the instrument cluster out. Two screws then pull the wires out the back and out it comes. Then theres a few screws round the cluster and it comes apart. Was easy after doing it on the compact.
Its not, its just the angle I took the photo. They...
Already on the list mate ha. Just got a few other bits (cheaper) I want first. Then going to look into getting either an eonon or andrive. Just it works fine ATM with the USB in the glovebox. But it will be changed.
As I liked the red needles in my compact I thought tonight I would do the same in this. Didn't need the silver rings which was a bonus as they were a pain last time. Looks quite nice. A subtle little touch.

Yeah that's what I found when looking to mine. Majority were autos which I didn't want. So had to find a compromise on spec and lowish miles but mainly wanted good service history

Done a few little bits:
Polished black shadow line came up much better than I thought it would be tbf.
Sprayed lower grill black.
Polished front and back lights. Front aren't what I was hoping for :/.
Sprayed carbon cube on the door cards.

I wanted this colour and spec I was after was heated black leather with electric seats. Did want xenons but couldn't find any with all. But really happy with this. And 111,000.
So sold my BMW compact 316ti. Was a great little car, really loved it. Loved the interior. But decided I wanted a new car, I couldn't think of any car I really wanted to replace it with, so decided to stick with BMW and the E46 and decided on a 3 series coupe. I decided on a 330ci. Sold my car...
