    My air conditioning stopped working one afternoon. A day or two later my Gage's quite working. Some functions returned but the gage lights quit working, turn indicators work, but don't show functioning in the cluster. Close enjoin light works, airbag and seatbelt light still work, but odometer doesn't work.
    The BMW dealer says it's tied to the canbus system and some of the module in the gage cluster control the air conditioner and some of the Gage lights

    In that case, especially since it sounds like the dealer is just using a typical throw parts at it approach, I'd definitely find a "virginized" used one to verify it will solve the problem. If it does solve it, you can still choose to get a brand new one later and resell the used one. If the used one doesn't solve it, then at least you aren't out the big bucks of a new cluster......

    But before you do that I'd get a code reader of your choice and read the codes it's throwing and do a little research on the interwebs, as more often than not on electronics it may not be the first and most obvious answer.

    Send Paul Martin an email, he was able to work on my E39 cluster and do this, he may be able to do an E46 or know of someone who can:

    Did you send Paul an email?

    If he couldn't help, PM terraphantm on this site. From what I've read/seen he has done this type of work before and may be able to point you in the right direction.
