This is a repair service for the original BMW 1 Series F20/F21 instrument cluster. The common failure is loss of the white illumination for the speedometer and rev counter needles, making the speed and RPM difficult or impossible to read in some lighting conditions.
We repair your original cluster, which helps retain the original vehicle data and avoids the coding, VIN and mileage issues that can come with fitting a used replacement unit.
