So i recently purchased the 6wb from bimmer guru
Can anyone attest to Bimmergurus support and order promptness?
I paid $1200 for it. Rough. I know. Still $600 better than bimmertech though.
Any idea if the m5 speed font can be coded to this unit? I also purchased the €100 coding and MOST adapter. I dont have hud and dont care to retrofit it.
Just to be clear i want to go from this font (pictured below)
To this one (the one that says m5)
I understand they are diff part numbers but surely software font should be easy to change. Right?
Also is this the same as the unit i purchased? Idk if theres an f30 specific one but this is listed as f10/15 and much cheaper

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F383119125018
If so then i suggest you buy it.

The F10 6WB have to be physically trimmed down and modified to go in a F30.

I wouldn't do it (and didn't do it...I did it right)....but it's your car.

The M5 you pictured is a 6WA, not a 6WB.

The F10 M5s did not have a digital dash option (similar to the F80/F82 M3/M4).

Believe it or not you're wrong thats an f90 with full digital dash. The one you are talking about is half digital half analog and was only available on the f80 as far as the 3 is concerned. It was featured on several other cars however including the f10 5. Ive pictured it below for you.

Also if that were an f10, why would it say 4wd sport? The f90 is the only m5 to ever be launched with awd, dubbed m x drive.

You can also see in this picture that the numbers on tach and speedo increase in size. This would be impossible without being 6wb or by some way of witchcraft.

Okay okay im done. Dont go around the forums talking out of ur a55. Google is only a few clicks away.
