missing pixel in the cluster

My warranty just expired for 2 weeks and this problem came up. I heard it's a common problem on the X5. Does anyone know if this is a easy fix? Should I complain to the dealer?

I don't know how good your dealer is but you might try to get a good-will repair on this because you are just out of warranty and the problem is a fairly common one. (I had mine swapped out for the same reason.) A little diplomacy might work. Good luck!
