This isn't a good description, but there is a lever type thing that holds it on there. When you slide it down it should just pop the plug right out. Then when you put it back on you can slide it back up and it will lock it into place.

If the OBC still works but just the display isn't bright enough why didn't you just replace the bulbs?

I was told no....sometimes it would go all the way out, sometimes it wouldn't but I found a new clock on Ebay for it for like 10.00 so I bought it. BMW told me at least a couple hundred bucks to fix it.

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

1996. The OBC used to work but something happened and it wouldn't light up, you could read it if you looked really hard in the daylight but at night forget it. So it always worked but didn't light up properly at times.
