Yes its the pixels are dead I have had four 5 series since 1999. WHen I had my brand new one under warrenty I had it replaced 3 times even if one small pixel went out at no cost...
I had my latest 5 series cluster replaced by the dealer in Novemeber. BMW North American paid 75% of part and labor rate at warrentey rate less the normal... Push for more they first hit me with 50%. will go up to 75% I had to push them and say it is still over my budget and they came back with a 75% offer
dont replace it any other way the miles will be incorrect.
I will be doing it to my X5 soon

I'm sure their goodwill and warranty expenditures have been quite costly for the pixel problem.
