Thank you bro!.
You super! you know exactly what you are doing.. Very helpful.
I actually wish If I watched your video before I start, Because as you exactly said I accidentally broke two cross-clips (or taps) and I was not able to open the cover.
Now I can't hold the cross-clip by the piler 🙁

I have already posted an enquiry with photos on bimmerfest dot com but no one has replied yet : https://goo.gl/PUXLx9

Can I still open the cover with the broken clips?

On M5 cluster, the oil temperature pointer, is the same procedure than the other clusters? I mean, can i simply pull it like the consume pointer?

Best repair video out there, and I've reviewed most of them. Thanks for the methodical detail in taking folk through a board most don't encounter, and how to deal with it. Great that you showed with and without dial removal, as well as the hot iron. I fixed mine and it works. Thanks.
BTW question, I'm aware of the approach needed to remove the dials. Held the pins in taking them off. The gas dial was a bear and didn't budge, (so I had to drill the holes). I think I munched the stepper motor anyway.. okay pretty sure I did. Really appreciate greatly your showing how to replace it! Thought it had to be soldered, but it appears that its push pins …. much like the 3 pins on each side of the LCD housing? Is that correct (BMW E39)? If so, really happy about that and will replace it. (I didn't want to take up learning to solder on a board that otherwise works….. ).
In any event thanks so much for showing details that are very important in a variety of approaches…( maybe until you do one of these, the importance of those details won't be as apparent). Finally, if I had to do it over again (& I found you after I had the parts and had started), your prices are so reasonable, I would have just sent it to you to be done correctly the first time…. Your turn around was ultimately much quicker than it took me to adjust and then fiddle with the stepper, before getting it back in. Thanks again.
