2004 e46 m3 interior lighting question. Does anybody know if the climate control display is supposed to dim like the main cluster and Business CD? In other words, when I dim my cluster using the radial dial next to the headlight switch the main cluster and Business CD screens change. The climate control display stay at 100% brightness and does not dim. Should it? If so, any solutions how to fix?

On a side note regarding fuel injectors I see both genuine BMW and Bosch are out of stock with no ETA on FCP and ECS. Has this been the case for a while?
I am looking to stock up on basic items like coils/injectors/cooling components before they potentially go NLA and the fuel injectors not being available isn't great.2004 Silbergrau Metallic 6MT

Bmw brand injectors are around $200 ea while bosches I think were 60ish.
They were available last I checked so probably out of stock. I don't think coils will go nla as many cars use the same overlapping ones and the oe supplier will continue to manufacture them.

The OEM ones I haven’t seen available in quite a bit until recently as mentioned above.

Do our injectors have a tendency of going bad or do most prefer to replace them rather than get them cleaned?
I bought a new set but I'm planning on sending out my old set for flow testing and cleaning."your BMW has how many miles!?"

The Bosch injectors were available Friday via FCP Euros website. I placed my order but was informed today through email that the injectors are out of stock. Probably a glitch in their system. I may follow jet_dogg advice and have mine cleaned.
I read that the o-rings are brittle and can cause fuel systems to lose pressure overnight and cause cranking issues when sitting for a bit.. I'm currently having this problem. Do they have Viton o-ring kits for the upper and lower fuel injectors?

I hope the Bosch come back, I'm willing to give them a try. $250 a piece is a tough pill to shallow but is what it is. Is there a general consensus on Bosch vs BMW?
Also, what about water pumps? Genuine or bust?2004 Silbergrau Metallic 6MT

If the Bosch fuel injectors are made in China, they're probably stuck on a ship off the coast of CA right now lol. I think they'll be back in stock in a few weeks.
As for water pumps, I'd go with genuine. Stories and testimonies seems like the aftermarket pumps are hit-or-miss.Last edited by zzyzx85; 11-09-2021, 11:51 AM."your BMW has how many miles!?"
