6WB digital cluster from Bimmer-tech

gfa3 · 01-05-2020, 08:39 AM

Hi all,

I thought Bimmer-tech would be the most reliable source for this digital instrument cluser.

If you're interested in purchasing i recommend just getting one new off Ebay and having your dealer code it. It will be cheaper than this kit from Bimmer-tech and you will get it taken care of faster than me.

We ordered the cluster 2.5 weeks ago and have still not heard from Bimmer-tech. We have emailed them twice with no response. On their website it says ships in 2-7 days... ***Edit actually it says delivered in 2-7 days

Once it gets here I then have to get it coded by them remotely. Which could be painless or could be awful depending on their schedule.

We're going to give them one more chance tomorrow to ship it out before we chargeback through CC company.

edit: they finally shipped my cluster on 1/6

You are surely not the only one who orders from them.
Try calling them?
Maybe there is something more going then you can see. (for example someones death etc etc)

Surely they will contact your.
If they don't you can always get a refund.

Agreed that they most likely have tons of orders at the moment. But my friend who went the Ebay route has actually gotten his already. So I feel the need to tell others who are thinking about going this route that they should probably just go to Ebay because it's cheaper, faster, and has the same exact results.

And yep going to call tomorrow.

Just got the shipping today finally. Probably backed up from holidays but the incorrect leadtime shown on the website is a little annoying! Hopefully coding goes smoothly now.

gfa3 do you have heads up display? i read in some place that it wont work if you replace the cluster

You would need to update your NBT if you have HUD.

I have the 6WB upgrade through Bimmertech and a heads up display. The HUD works, and I couldnt be more pleased with the install.
