Hi,

I have a 530i 1994 Automatic (E34).

At night, with the lights on, I cannot see which shift I'm selecting - shouldn't the shift selector be illuminated like it is in every other car I have ever driven?

Sure, the shift selected is displayed on the instrument cluster, but I surely that can't be the only way to see in the dark?!?!?

Also, the shift-type (Sport/Adaptive) switch is not illuminated either, when the same type of switch (like on the sunroof), is illuminated.

Have I got a blown lightbulb somewhere, and if so, how can I get under there without wrecking the wood fascia around the gearshift?

Please help!!!!
