Thanks Much TLK, (I know this is late in coming).

Folks, just to update this thread. I ended up swapping the EEPROM from my current 6WA cluster onto the Alpina cluster. That took care of the mileage and vehicle vin. The rest of the cluster controls for the needles worked just fine on the Alpina cluster. I had tried to find any info I could, on controlling the movement step size of the needle for the speedo, but could not find any.

For the e60 and other e series, there was a way to use the BMW standard SW tools to modify the step size but those parameters are either hidden away on the F-series now or someone who really knows e-sys well might be able to find them (I know I couldn't).

BOTTOM line is as long as I swapped the EEPROM (I'm guessing clearing the EEPROM and copying over data rather than physical removal would have worked too), the overall cluster worked as expected in terms speed/rpm gauges.
