I'm pretty sure I won't be a BMW owner much longer ...

Confirmed cluster has every light on possible.
C/O DIS TEST, Several power supply issues. Nothing current.
C/O Battery reset and cluster started to behave. After road
test the turn signal light warning flickered. Suspect internal cluster issue.
Fault for drivers airbag. Removed airbag and carried out resistance check. Threshold is 2.4 - 5 ohms. This airbag was 5.8 ohms. Req airbag and updated clock spring.

Basically couldn't tell me what actually caused the issue, suspect there was a short somewhere but couldn't locate it. Want me to spend $5k without fixing the cause.

Took it to another shop for another opinion. Figure, worst case scenario, what's the difference between a $5k and a $5.2k bill if they find the same thing ...
