A search on the BMW parts fiche does not turn up either of the part numbers that you listed. I have a 62 11 1 459 919. The parts fiche shows that it fits the 2 bikes that you list in your profile.BMW makes understanding this situation a challenge The number on that box is for the housing only sans guts—parts #4 and #6 together, maybe.

Is the only way to determine what model that they originated on by the plug style?I don't know, Mike. Some of them have stickers on the rear plate with BMW numbers printed on them but I haven't found those numbers in the fiche yet. Inge would have been able to answer your question.
When considering replacing an instrument cluster, I would want the pin plug/socket assemblies mating round-to-round or angular-to-angular although angular-to-round has been claimed to function acceptably by some who have posted here. I'd also want the interior free of corrosion because I've seen some grisly-looking interiors in troubleshooting photos where the outside of the case was pleasing to the eye.

I'm still confused though.
@ TommyT Does all this mean you need the round or the flat angular pin type?

A fellow from over at the BMWMOA was re-furbishing the complete head units for me at a decent price. Unfortunately, he has passed. I am unaware of anyone else that is doing them.Overseas Speedometer (http://www.speedometer.com/) is still in operation and has good references here.

That is a pretty yellow cluster.Round pins. What year bike has a flat angular pin type? I am going to look at one this weekend, but I guess I show ask the owner what type of pins are in it and maybe save me a trip.
I'm still confused though.
