Recommendations to replace the faulty speedometer on my 2016 BMW 530d

There were fine lines on the screen with minimal backlight. The car drives but without speedometer readings.

BHPian Civic_doc recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

It has been almost 6 months since I acquired the BEE Emm. I have clocked 4,500 kms till now. As per the service schedule, the car was due for service on 1st March 2024. I took a quotation from BMW Service Surat for Engine Oil service, Air Filter, Oil filter and AC Microfilter for which I was quoted approx Rs 50,000. I decided to get it done through a reliable service centre. Got the service done at Acura Motors in Surat. This service centre caters to all German vehicles. So I took the appointment and got the service done. The entire service cost me Rs 16,000 which was reasonable. Genuine Mahle spare parts were used

A few days after the service on a Sunday morning I was going to move the car away from the porch I noticed the speedometer console had gone blank I restarted the car but alas. There were fine lines on the screen with minimal backlight. The car drives but without speedometer readings. Thanks to the HUD for showing speed and other details.

Now I have done some research this speedometer unit is called 6WB. It is possible to change only the LCD panel within the speedometer assembly. Rather than the entire assembly.

It would require help from GTO and other senior members on how to go about it. I am thinking of visiting Mumbai for this. A contact number of a good service technician who specialises in speedometer and spare part sources would be highly appreciated.
