We never seen that!
Not what you want to hear from a BMW SA. My 540i has an electronic display for the speedometer and tachometer. I started up the car and the display had moved to the left about 1 1/2 inches. It was also very dim. The left part of the speedometer that was now covered up by the movement was on the right side of the display. I had a heads up display which was unaffected so I could at least see how fast I was going on the way home. I don't need any more tickets. I took a movie of it so I could show the service department since I am still under warranty. Thanks Apple. When I showed him the movie he said I have never seen anything like that. After about 3 drive cycles the display returned to normal.

This is not a new issue. Some earlier G30 builds, I believe mostly 2018 in US, have a connection issue that can manifest over time. I recall the solution is to replace the digital cluster. Or you simply need a software update.
Here's the bulletin. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...45344-9999.pdf

BTW, not terribly uncommon for software updates to fix issues and break things that were previously working OK. I need mine done, for same backup camera recall, but I was told to hold off and wait for a future ISTA version that will hopefully be more stable. This is one of the easier sites to get TSBs. I assume this is what you mean, as I'm not sure what FSB means. https://www.aboutautomobile.com/Tech...rvice-Bulletin

Thanks for the info. I wish I had waited to get the camera update. They did give me a brand new X5 to drive with 60 miles on it until my 540i is fixed.

Just to update the dealer replaced my speedometer and tach displays reprogrammed the boxes and everything is working correctly now. They were able to change the display without leaving any marks or scratches.

Did the camera update cause your speedo issue ? I’m set to hVe my first service and camera recall done 1/28/20.
I’ve got no issues with my camera not working. |
