I'm guessing that part at the top?

wasn't too bad. basically, as you probably already know, there is three parts to the cluster. there's two "dial locks", on the back, just turn these to unlock the rear part. up on top, it's clipped together, undo. this takes care of the back. next is the middle and front, which is held on by 6 screws. after that, it's pretty much apart, and you car carefully take the the last two parts out, and leave the back part in place.

My cluster kinda swiveled at the top, I never really tried to remove the two parts, maybe next time my bulb blows

Jose: thanks. i beleive only e34's with cold weather package came with traction control.

and since you live in Cali, I don't think that the cold weather package would be worth it.... damn Chicago winters!

Not true. I have a 1992 BMW 525i with the Cold Weather package and does not have the traction control. I believe the '93+ may have had traction control but I certainly do not. I do have the LSD, heated seats, all that stuff. But I do not have traction control.

Jose: yea, but it'd still be nice to have. i'll be gearing up for chicago, i'll be there in the beginning of december for a trade show/conference for work.

UrineMachine: thanks for the info. i know it's true for the '95, so i guess it's different for other years.

you don't have to take the wheel off to remove the cluster if anyone cares....unscrew, disconnect, and then shove the temp gauge side of the cluster into the dash sideways, and angle the other side of the cluster through the biggest opening of the wheel...takes a little bit to get the right angle, but I am sitting next to mine right now....took 10 minutes.
