I just bought a 98 740I. The multi information display is dead. All the fuses check out ok. The previous owner removed an aftermarket cell phone before turning in the car but claims the radio worked afterword. My dealer spent 30 hrs. trying to find the problem and now wants to replace the entire wiring harness for $12,000. I need a schematic in order to trouble shoot the problem. Any ideas where I can get my hands on one? Thanks for your help.

You might want to try a different site where more e38 enthusiasts seem to gather…
