He won't send that car to a dealership in another country. The cost of that car imported with tax, license and everything amounts to almost $100,000 in that country when he bought it. :yikes: If he lived in the US, he'd probably be driving a m5, 911 or a sl.

okay.. the dealer told me that the cluster that they have put in was a newer version of the old one... they can't get the same version as the old one... i don't know why... the new cluster won't read the old mileage but the other gauges works just fine... just the odometer.. 000000!!!!! the cluster can't read the original odometer of the car even if programmed... but it works just fine... oh well... the good thing is, that it was replaced under warranty... my x5 is 3500 km newer.... i'll just add 3500 to my odometer reading.. :)

thanks guys for the replies...
