This has been an on-going issue but it's like talking to a brick wall. BMW Canada will not accept any responsibility whatsoever if the vehicle is out of the new car warranty. Even the CPO warranty will not cover it. We have tried to argue that BMW N.A. has offered to replace the defective clusters, but BMW Canada says they are a separate subsidy and will not have the same coverage as the U.S. They claim the Canadian vehicles are made to different standards! The only difference in the cluster is mi/hr and km/hr ...otherwise they are the same unit!

Anyhow I have burnt out pixels in my 540 and I'm actually sending it out today to 'Cluster Repair' in California. I think they charge approx $200 to fix it with a one year warranty.
