2000 BMW 740IL Electrical system Problems

“I have a 2000 Bmw 740IL that is very hard to read from the dash board or the instrument panel. I cannot read the exact mileage on the car, outside temperature or any other information that comes to the screen behind the steering wheel. I would like to have this fix since it is a safety hazard. Any idea of what to do from this point will be of great help.”

“The information panel in front of the stering column in the dash is so pixalated the information such as the odometer and other necessary safety information is unreadable. The dealer where the car was purchased as a certified Bmw, 18 months after the purchase in 2004 the car had approximately 60,000 miles at the time (now 75,000 miles), said it would cost approximately $1500 to $2000 to replace and it was our responsibility. We have lived with it for some years now and try to avoid driving at night. The car has always been used sparingly because of this problem. …”

“The problem areas of missing pixels are primarily located in the driver's instrument cluster that displays odometer & trip odometer, outside temperature , and check control display, such as warnings/parking brake/coolant temperature /level/ key & seat belt reminder, etc. Bmws have been evaluating case by case basis on those who knew where to complain in Bmw on this problem and on who could get service. …”
