Auto shifter

Need help.

The light on my auto gear selector has stopped working. Phoned local bmw dealer who told me they would need to have a look at it to see if the whole unit needs replaced. £130 just to tell me what’s wrong with it.

Pretty sure I could buy a new unit and replace it myself for less than that. I’m assuming if the light is faulty the whole unit needs replaced?

Any help would be great.

Cheers

Cheers. If I buy a second hand one will it need coding or simply plug and play?

Not sure to be honest but you should be able to swap the working LED PCB at the top keeping the rest as is.

I swapped mine. Car originally had the non sport shifter. Swapped it for the sports one. Plug and play. No coding needed.
