Missing pixels on dash display

Post by kjwhitehead »

Has anyone had any experience with replacing the dash graphic display to correct the missing pixels that are not showing up. What was the cost involved and did you handle it through a dealer or independent? How was the experience?

I did to the repair steps and it only lasted a month or 2.
More trouble than its worth.

I live with the missing pixels every now and then.

prior to this . . .

My cluster was replaced 2 times
1st under warranty by the previous owner (at Circle BMW) and
2nd under CPO warranty by me (At Open Road).

And I still have missing pixels unfortunately I am out of warranty now.

Good luck!

Has anyone used their services to repair the faulty pixel display? Is it worthwhile and how long would it be expected to last? They offer a 1 or 3 year warranty on the fix.
