big help
Thanks to joining this forum yesterday and spending most of the night reading different topics. The one that hit me the most was condensation in lights, had a look at mine thinking two weeks old will be ok. How wrong I was O/S rear has some. Phoned the dealer this morning about it and thought here we go argument time. How wrong I was new light cluster on order booked in for Friday straight swap So thank you forum members

Re: big help
I'm quite surprised as your Zed is 2 weeks old as BMW should be fitting the modified clusters for some time. I've had no probs with mine at 12 months old.trucker99 wrote:Thanks to joining this forum yesterday and spending most of the night reading different topics.

Re: big help
Glad you're getting it sorted. I've had one rear replaced and I'm looking to get the other one done next week. My Z4 is exactly two years old.
I wasn't aware that there was a modified light cluster for later cars. I thought this was a problem that BMW have yet to acknowledge?

Re: big help
I'm not 100% sure to be honest, but there is a foil kit available which I thought was being fitted now or is that for warranty repairs only?strugglinauthor wrote:Glad you're getting it sorted.

Re: big help
I'm going to ask the question when I take mine in to be replaced. Ordinarily I wouldn't be too bothered but I'd like to know if there is a permanent fix for the fateful day when my warranty runs out...

you would have to introduce your car to weather to know if condensation was an issue

Re: big help
I didn't notice it when I picked it up, but then again I was like a child in a sweet shop Just wondering I took it to one of the car wash places as being in a rush. Usual wash my cars my self due to having higher standards lol. The dealer didn't even try and avoid it just said "right I'll order a new cluster bring it in Friday and u can wait.
