Looks like the LCD is going bad. Probably going to need to be replaced.

To my understanding much like upgrading to an E63 cluster you will need to replace your factory board into the new one

I'm sure there is, but without seeing one torn apart, it's hard to determine who the LCD is made by, how it's connected, its part number, etc. I'd imagine it's just a ribbon cable and some fasteners.

Don't worry. That's just a notification of lightning strikes in your area.

A good excuse to upgrade to the 200mph cluster
