How did you code? Bimmercode or Esys? Did you backup module before coding?

I could be wrong bit I thought the Alpina display is only for the full digital dash (prior to LCP).

I coded using esys and just changed the option back to nicht active which resolved it
I'm sure I've seen people with my cluster have alpina and they only needed to enable one option

Looks like you have a F90? I’m not sure it works on the F90 cluster, since it has different HW compared to G3x KOMBI.

Check if you lost the cafd file on your kombi, if yes you need to inject cafd if the cafd is still there just click on kombi to code it default according to your FA.

Did you end up getting the Alpina display to work properly on your M5 KOMBI?
