Re: Onboard CPU Display problem (archive)

Correction -- Previous post should have read ("I'm not sure of the correct name for the unit replaced but if it'd help I can dig through my service records and get you the name and part number)"
Sorry for the confusion. Too early in the morning for an old f**t.

Aloha - my name is Alan,
New to the membership and a new owner of a '91 850i.
Car has less than 48K mls. and the folloing problems.
The onboard "CPU" display does not allways light up with all the little red/orange led's. Please forgive the lack of correct nomenclature but will learn in time. If I run muy finger over the display it lights up where the finger is touching. Some times the display is crystal clear and all led's work. Other times only about 50% come on.
Help!. Maui is not the place to get the best tech. help.
Second problem is before shipping the car from the mainland - I took it for a pre-purchase run.
Noted that up to about 120MPH car was a smooth and very comfortable.
Pushing 130 a little vibration and 140 become very noticeable.
Did not dare go beyond - and it appeared to be rear end vibration.
However I made the deal - as there are no roads here on Maui I would dare to drive at those speeds and felt this could be tire,rim or drive axel universals.
Any pointers.
