Steering wheel need to come off to make room for the cluster. Be careful with the airbag. People have disconnected the battery as a safety measure.

It IS a big hassle! You can get the gauges out without removing the wheel, but it takes time and patience. I wouldn't recommend the place I got it done. It was the first and last time they will touch my car. If you are interested I can give you the number of the guy doing my clutch. I seriously trust him and he will give you breaks on prices sometimes. PM me if you want his number. BTW he is out in Maple Lake, MN

does that concern you at all? it looks exactly the same, but i was looking at gauges too, and i noticed that it says except 318...should they still work?

also, on the topic of gauges, i have a 95, and it doesnt have the MPG gauge below the tach...if i got that gauge set, would it still work if i just installed the other 4 and left the MPG gauge empty?

install:

Depending on the knowledge/experience of the shop with a BMW, it would most likely be at least 200. It takes a lot of time to do it.
