After successful coding on the compass, you won't find it in the Settings->Instrument Cluster menu like the other displays. So it always appears in the BC button display ring.

There may be a cluster firmware issue. It works on my '14 which had all modules updated with whatever I-step was from around July 2017. You mentioned you have a '13, and if the cluster firmware has not been updated since the build, maybe it doesn't contain the compass feature. As far as I can tell from ETK there isn't a difference between pre and post-LCI clusters, although the part number changed several times, the most recent part is supposed to work on all MY F10 M5's. I never paid attention to whether the compass is MY dependent when I was researching.

In retrospect, I think that the NBT coding step was not necessary. You could try reverting that particular parameter, wait, and see if the compass shows up.
