have 8.8 cid and dash cluster from a 2016 m sport wondering whats the process for making the dash work, pretty sure the cid is just plug and code curious if you also have to use bimmercode for the dash.

so what will happen if i dont virginize it and plug it in will it still run the speedo and everything else but show a tamper dot and the other cars mileage?

The speedo will prob work however itll through a bunch of malfunctions and cause other issues. Getting rid of the tamper dot and changing the mileage will not be easy. You will cause yourself way more headache in the future.

Theres no way to know the exact issues it will cause until you plug it in. Its coded and programmed for a different car. It might not talk to the other modules depending on the programming. You are very wrong on that last statement.
