Dealership reports they had their "electrical expert" working on the vehicle, took them 3 weeks to give us any info about possible causes. Don't know if it be cost effective to have other shops do more diagnostics if the dealership had the vehicle for so long trying to determine the cause

I would imagine that the dealership aka the stealership is trying to convince your father to get out of the X5. A used cluster is the the way to go if this truly the problem but I would isolate the cluster first and see if this is really the drain. If there is a drain in the system then you can get poor voltage that causes the cluster to malfunction. It could be the NAV thats causing the drain by staying on all the time.
