I'm finally at a point where I can't really read anything on my instrument cluster - no odometer, trip meter, etc. I also reached a fairly decent deal with BMW NA for them to cover 50% of the part cost if I pay for the other 50% of the part and 100% of the labor.

I called a couple places, and the best price I've seen for the part alone is $587 and then $157 for labor. Is $587 for the part price the best that you all have seen? I know I've read reports of people getting BMW NA to pay 100% of the part, but I figure for a vehicle to be this far out of warranty and my lack of service history though the dealer that 50% is a very reasonable and fair offer.

FWIW, this is what my cluster looks like now.
