ducatiss 1 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) You might be able to find some good panels off a wrecker or the likes of trademe - depends on where the dents are I guess - do you have some pics? I have said this before but good and cheap rarely go together - especially in the case of repairing BMW's Edited April 13, 2008 by ducatiss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably just need a new tacho or cluster. Contact one of the secondhand parts dealers on here (eg Ray, Brent and others) or look on trademe for a replacement. Make sure you get the right one for your car as the 6cyl cars are different to yours. If removing the instrument cluster is beyond you then see your nearest dealer or if in Auckland go and visit Glen at Botany Motorworx.
