Hi,

I'm new to the site and have only just bought a 1997 728i - a beautiful car with only 72k mls and 2 owners. There are a few faults one in particular thats bothering me is the display bar in the dash binnacle that displays the trip mileage, milage and temperature etc. The pixels are about 50% gone making it difficult to read.

Is this something that is very difficult to repair yourself - and is it expensive to rectify ?

Also wondered if I should have the gearbox flushed and refilled with a specific gearbox oil. Do they have a pancake filter fitted that needs changing - I'm not familiar with the sealed for life units ??

Thanks for any advice - Roger

welcome to the forum Roger - :)

I would say the dash speedo clock could do with a change.

as for the gearbox, its suppose to be a seal for life unit. however, owners do tend to change the fluid & also the filter.

personally if the car gears are shifting correct & smooth then I would not mess with the fluid.

check for leaks around the oil sump pan, the seal tends to leak.

hope this helps :D
