I'm not sure how the mini works at the moment.
I've been playing around with clusters from current model Korean cars for a client recently and they're nice and basic - the odometer is stored in a little EEPROM in the cluster (which incidentally you can change quite easily!)
The mini is rather more complicated. From reading up on them, you cant just swap clusters from one car to another as they are coded to each individual vehicle. Apparently you have to get a replacement cluster reprogrammed by BMW before it will work in your car.
A bit more research required I think!
