That's where I got my keys back in 2014. Cheap, genuine BMW, and very fast. I think I emailed them a scan of my driver's license and registration, and since the keys were shipping to the same adress...

I don't know anything about the ribbon repair, but I believe that if all your bulbs are burned out, you'll observe what you are seeing there.
In my 2001, I had 2 out of the 5 burned out. Very easy...

The pre-xdrive E53 uses a NV125 transfer case. I'll say it is so different vs the xdrive one that discussing the xdrive here adds nothing other than confusion.
