I have a 93 gxe auto, and last night on the interstate some blonde chick in a BMW 5 series decided she wanted to see what her new car could do. During this stint, the cars pulled very evenly, and my speedo needle kept going over, I eventually barely pulled from her about the time that my needle hit the "P" in MPH on my speedo gauge, and I'm not sure what speed that is, but I was wondering if I switched out the cluster from an SE with a 145 MPH speedo, will the computer adjust to make it accurate?

 

it is a direct swap...the speed will be correct if you swap them. I along with many others have done this.

I am pretty sure its not computer driven but it gets its speed directly from the speed sensor.

 

If you were keeping up with a new 5 series in your VG auto, she either didn't know that you were racing or let you win. The speedo swaps with no problem.

 

I've got one for sale if you need one:

well I would have thought the same thing, but her reaction towards me when I finally pulled suggested that she did know, and she didn't let me :-p, maybe the 5 series has a top speed limiter, i dunno. pretty sure people don't normally drive 130+ with somebody beside them and not know what's going on heh

 

i drive BMW's all day long and trust me those 5-series can pull pretty good. but it all depends on the driver of course, can't wait till the M6 comes out. as for the cluster swap, i already did this to my '93 GXE 5-speed and everything works just fine. no need to calibrate needles. just swap the cluster in from an SE and ur done. i didn't swap clusters though, i just swapped out the faces. but either way it still works fine.
