With the HID lamps they normally replace the ballast as well

One of the lads that worked for me about 20 years ago had a 520 and the dash died BMW wanted £500 or £600+ for a replacement an hour and a bit on the bench including a trip to Tandy's and a tenner's worth of rechargeable batteries fixed it

A wipe with a wire brush MAY have cured it if it has been idling a lot in traffic.

a wipe with a JCB bucket is a better option for these overpriced, under engineered, main dealer dependent, hitler's revenge, cars.

A bit of motor industry sad history.

The first car BMW made after they were not permitted to make aircraft was the Dixi - essentially the Austin 7 under licence from the Austin company.

In 1959, the Iconic Morris Mini was born. It was also sold with the Austin badge - the Austin 7.
Now the Mini name is owned by BMW and the cars are manufactured in Britain.

A sad and ironic turn.
