As the other poster said, you do not need to worry about the instrument cluster any more. Also, you can modify the DRLs yourself or get someone else to do it with out voiding warranty. There are instructions somewhere in the forum on getting it done.
Best of luck.

Isn't that ridiculous?!

The BMW Canada webpage above actually did not specifically say that the warranty will be void but then the e-mail response I got from BMW Canada stated that:
1. The New Car Limited Warranty of 4 years, 80 000kms is honoured in Canada as long as you follow the BMW Import Process which can be found at www.BMW.ca/import .
2. The modifications for your vehicle can be obtained through one of our BMW Retailers in Canada if you speak to the Service Department
3. You will need a Recall Clearance Letter which can also be obtained through one of our BMW Retailers in Canada. |
