BMW E39 clusters...more - meditek
Seems that BMW USA have admitted to a problem with the 'leds' on these and give customers a fix service for $100, however old the car.

BMW UK, however, are more interested in the state of their showrooms than their customers and offer no service at all. Just why do we put up with being pushed around like peasants in this country?

I wasn't aware that E39s had factory fit LED lights (other than 3rd brake light)....I know that the last E46 3 series certainly had them (optional?) and probably the E60 5 series had too.

Is this something specific to US cars?
In any case the US is far more customer-focused than the UK, whether it is a burger or a BMW.

Sorry, I've just read your previous post - talk about getting the wrong end of the stick!

As you've probably guessed, I thought the clusters you were talking about were "rear lamp" and not "instrument".

The bit about US customer service still stands though. :-)
