Does your redline move ?

SANK_CH · 03-15-2006, 01:02 PM

isn't it E60 gauges?

In the 545i it works fine

noflash · 03-15-2006, 01:11 PM

KL2DC · 03-15-2006, 01:16 PM

I agree, it does look as if it could move...I just came back from lunch (car was parked in garage since morning) and I did not note any change/movement....very curious to know, afiw its never been mentioned/discussed....

1 is mine, but like i said on a 545i not on an E90

youngtechman · 03-15-2006, 02:41 PM

My sales told me it will move when I get the car.
But it never did (Haven't ask him why yet, after i had the car for 5 months).
Even in -15c , no movement.
I would love to see it move......

Largest BMW conspiracy ever.
The gauges that could.

My mom's 745i has an adjustable redline the moves when it gets warm.

My 330i's redline is fixed.

BMW0 · 03-15-2006, 05:25 PM

Hm... maybe a new E90 might have an adjustable redline. Who knows... Never seen my redline move.

Nice thinking ward. But the diesels get a different cluste with different scaling on the tach. Not just an adjusted redline...

No it does not move. The people who said it does, are smoking some REAL crazy shit.

Chesmu · 03-15-2006, 11:28 PM

isn't the rev limiter set differently on the diesel models? perhaps German dude with the blue lights has a 330d?

Chesmu · 03-15-2006, 11:28 PM

who voted sometimes?!?! It's a yes or no question!

JO3 · 03-16-2006, 12:43 AM

Maybe the guy who converted the tach to blue messed up the wiring and changed the redline inadvertantly.

Or if you notice, the guages are sitting on carpet. Maybe when he wired up the power supply, he wired it up so that all of the adjustable redline lights lit up.

I don't see why that's not possible. I guess only time will tell.
