Hmmm, wouldn't be the first time Bay Area dealerships have taken advantage of customers. They were known for charging way more (gouging) for the goodwill replacement clusters versus the deals others were getting.

You're exactly right, especially on the goodwill cluster replacement from the E38 and E39. Fortunately when I went through that on one of my E38's I was in Southern California and was one of the 100% replacements at the time. My E38 now has a fully functional M5 cluster in it so I'm good.
