BMW 6WB Digital Instrument Cluster - Everything You Need To Know About BMW's Digital Speedometer

[@Scotford_Maconochie]

My 2017 X5 came with 6WB, iDrive6 and touch screen unit all from factory

[@jaybomb5022]

This is so awesome. I'd love it in my 550IX if it wasn't $3,000.

[@vipergx]

Having a 6WA with a HUD I don't thik this is worth it. But if you have a relatively fresh car and no HUD or 6WB and thinking of keeping it for a while, it could be worth it.

[@BMWDIYGuy]

I love this in my car and absolutely stuns any other bmw enthusiast that gets in my car.

[@the340iguy3]

agreed

[@andresamuel4186]

HI BimmerTech, I just discovered your channel. I just bought a 2015 BMW X5 F15 X40e Hybrid M Performance. However i wanted to upgrade the 6WA -Extended Cluster with a 6WB Cluster. I bought the cluster and had a technician install it and code it. It worked at first and then on my way home i got Drivetrain Fault and then later got battery not charging. I replaced the cluster with the old (6WA) and reset the system and cleared all the codes and everything started to work as before the 6WB was installed. I contacted the supplier i bought the cluster from and he said that he did not realize that the my vehicle was a hybrid and that the 6WB would not work in the Hybrid X40e. I just wanted to confirm if this is actually the case and there was something else that was needed to be done to get the unit to work as it should. thank you and have a great day!.

[@bimmer-tech]

Hey! We sadly can't help you with the product from the other supplier, but we recommend you check the compatibility with 6WB instrument cluster on our page. It's an OEM part, so if it indicates it's compatible, the product you ordered is likely to be faulty

[@JE_PU]

Does this work with f30 330e hybrid?

[@bimmer-tech]

Hi! Sure, the 6WB cluster in the 330e is the same used in other F30s.

[@inspired_by_bimmer267]

Hi and one more thing.when you press button on speedometer for long time you will get more info on the right clock I mean info cooling temp. oil temp.how many petrol/diesel is in the tank etc.

[@Scotford_Maconochie]

Is use this often on my X5

[@avgfinnishdude]

Does the digital cluster from G30 directly fit F30? since there are few for under 500€ in our local scrapyard

[@bimmer-tech]

We'd have to check that by your VIN. Please contact our support team ([e-mail]) with this question and provide them both of you car's VINs.

[@the340iguy3]

Hi BimmerTech, is it possible to code the digital reading up to 200 MPH for example? I've been looking around on the forums and can't find any info about that.

[@bimmer-tech]

Hi, we are not related to engine tuning. So, from our side it's not possible.

[@uptopbb5723]

It’s possible with the proper coding

[@jeetu4444]

Yes u can with Bimmer code

[@budcar9040]

Will the 6WB work in my 2018 330e w/HUD ?? Because that would be super Cool 😎???

[@bimmer-tech]

It most likely could but you'd have to check that by your VIN :) Enter it in 'Identify your BMW' box: www.bimmer-tech.net/category-6wb-bmw-oem-digital-instrument-cluster-6wb

My family has a car(530d m sport 2014 MY)which is equipped with this cluster.I am driving it after a long time and the colour does not change with modes.Is there any option which I must enable?

[@bimmer-tech]

Please record a video of changing the 6WB modes and send it to our support team. We will see what is going on. Also make sure to include your VIN: www.bimmer-tech.net/page-contact

[@Tenktory]

I hate the look of the sport mode. Eco pro mode layout can be turned off and replaced with the standard (comfort) graphics. This can be done simply by unchecking one box in the display configuration (iDrive). However, I'm not able to find similar option for the sport gauges. Am I doomed to look at them each time I switch car in the sport or sport + mode?

[@bimmer-tech]

Unfortunately, the Sport+ mode layout cannot be changed.

[@eyeyron5007]

It’s not worth it. I saw a local member with this 6wb. The center display stays blank most times unless you use a nav. And even then it’s just arrows. The sport mode looks tacky, but it’s subjective. The eco mode only shows up to 60 mph. It feels incomplete especially if you are on the highway cruising at 70-75. Comfort mode is the best looking. But for $2000, I’d rather just change the bulbs to white on my cluster to change the look. It will even age better.
