My panel has a lot of failed leds. Showing 83,000.
Obtained a used and supposedly functional one with 53,000.
Took 'new' one and asked BMW to fit it and adjust the mileage to mine. They were willing but said the best they could do would result in my odometer showing 83K+53K = 136K!
Quarry BMW who sold me it said the mileage could be adjusted to match mine. BMW say it can't.
Assuming BMW matched the 'new' one to my car and I installed it. What would be the mileage result of putting the old one back if I decided to sell the car. Would the mileage I'd accumulated show correctly on the old one? BMW didn't know the answer to this.
Also, what would be the effect of swapping the 'electronics' unit on the back from mine to the 'new' one and then fitting it?
