No TSB that I'm aware of, many boardmembers have had cluster replaced under factory warranty without issue. CPO replacement depends on individual $tealer. Your relationship with $tealer will play a major role - keep us posted.

Rolled into the dealership with the S3 today and EVERYONE was in awe !!!!!!!!
The entire service dept. came to a halt, as all the techs stopped what they were working on to gather around the car to stare at the car's engine bay!
Anyway, regarding the pixel defect, it will be covered & replaced under the BMW warranty, no issue at all. Plus, my "contact guy" suggested that i have the air start pump replaced, since I thought it was rather loud when initially firing up the beast. So this part is to be replaced as well! Im happy................ !

Lucky you, I thought I was gonna be the last guy here to get it covered under warranty with no fuss.

I think driving into a dealer with a S3 is unfair advantage... at that moment you would have been a scaled down version of god.
