Problem: instrument panel / cluster gauges gone nuts

7900km and it seems my gauges have grown a mind of their own!

Was cruising along normally, when suddenly all gauges decided to freeze; KM/H, RPM, fuel economy, temperature & gas tank (not like the last 2 move much).

Stop on the side, turn car off completely and needles don't move. Turn car back on, needles still completely frozen. Awesome, nearly 4pm, in traffic, dealership closes somewhat early, closed all weekend... beautiful timing as always.

When I get home, stop car, decide to start it again for fun, gauges jerk a bit and well, they start working again, but with their "home" position being where they froze... I got for a drive around the block, and I'm now going 100+km/h, revving over 5500rpm (in sport mode), gas tank needle in a position that seems to want to leave the silver "ring"... I almost wanna laugh.

Call up dealership, they say they've never seen that and to bring it in Monday. Wish there was some type of reset possible, like unplug the battery or combination of buttons to reset to factory...

Guess that's officially my first problem with the X3
