I think Alex meant BMW NA will pay only 25%, so your cost would be 75% of that 1K, plus labor. Some get lucky and have them replaced. They only need to pay labor ~$200. Now this is a winner.
They offer to pay 50% in my case. It would be $600 out of pocket for the cluster replaced. Forget it! I spent less than $50 and 3 hrs of my weekend time.
Alex, you don't need to replace the LCD. It's the ribbon and broken-contact that cause the missing pixel. I have instructions with pictures that I can send to you if you'd like.
