You could ask the dealer to run an "out of warranty goodwill repair" query. However if the car is more than 5 years old or has very high mileage it will probably return the "vehicle beyond goodwill limits" answer. Other prerequisites include a full BMW service history.

There are specialists who can repair the problem on the cluster, MID and digital climate control displays.
In the UK there's clusterrepairsuk.co.uk
Stateside there's VDORepair.com
