I have sent it off to BBA reman who are useless and have taken a week to tell me they cant test it so its in the research lab for them to look at which could take weeks.

anyway

can i put another set in mine from a breakers car?

anyone know who else can fix them?

is there anywhere to buy a new one cheaper than BMW direct.

That sucks I hope you figure this out. Goodluck.

 

Keep us posted mate.

 

i'm not very expert ,but I advise you to do some basic check up like : 1- instrument cluster test ( by accessing the hidden menu ) 2- check the fuse box for any burned fuse , 3- remove the battery cable and wait for a few minutes , sometimes something stock and need to restart ..

good luck ,, keep us update and hope its not a major problem

 

Ola all.

Well
It's not looking good. Bba reman who sort clocks couldn't test the e60 clocks so don't use them.

I have one more place to try. I've tried as above so thanks guys. I have put a second hand Clock from an auto n all the dials work it just kicks off with warnings about gearbox.

I'll update u after I get back from my charity cycle ride.

Cheers all.
