I suppose I could ask Schmeidman who seem to be able to obtain it.

Lots and lots of searching the internet. I started with andrewc89's original post, and went from there. The part # he describes (post #1 of this thread) is no longer available. I consulted realoem.com, the link in my previous post and several others, and it consistently came back 62-10-8-097-793. Took that part # to my local dealer, and they confirmed it. There was a tiny bit of a leap of faith on my part to pull the trigger, but I did, and it paid off. It's the right one. Black background, white numbers and red dials, illuminated by LED day or night, lights on or off. Do a quick Google search on 62-10-8-097-793 and you'll get several hits. Pelican Parts, Tischer BMW, etc. I ended up getting mine from Otto's BMW in Pennsylvania. It had to be shipped to them from Germany.
