Hi everyone, Ive just come across a e34 M5, ive wanted one pretty much all my adult life so snapped it up when I got the chance.

Im in need of a new speedo cluster or can the dials be changed from the back and are they available? They seem to have got damp inside and all the numbers etc are spliting.

Thank you in advance and here are some pics of the car

Ive replaced gearbox, clutch and rear springs. Also riscous fan had gone. Getting new wheels, probably 18s. Body work will be in a few weeks. Ill get some pics up asap

I was looking at original M Parallel M sport wheels. I would refurb these but the centres are magnesium i believe? and im guessing with that corosion they will be wrecked? Im a pro detailer by trade so most of the body work can be saved but there is lots of paint needed really, thats my major concern
