740i inst panel removal
Hello,
I'm new to the forum and to BMW's also. Thinking seriously about buying a 1999 740il.
The digital display section on the main gauge panel has many inoperative pixels. Have heard this may be simply a bad connection to the instrument panel.
My question...can I tilt the instrument cluster out by removing the screws directly above the bezel?
Also, are there any major chronic problems with this model to consider before I buy?
Any inputs appreciated.
Best regards, Hal

This board has been pretty quiet for some time and covers the 7 from 2002 to 2009. You might get help on the 7 Series (E38) board that would cover a 1999 model.

Yes you can. Pixels do go bad. There is sometimes
a fix or fixers for this. Reard and search at e38.org and on bim merboard dot com in the e38 section.
