If you do a Google search for an owners manual you may be able to download one in pdf format.

That's what i did for my 523i.

Possibly if you are good with a soldering iron, I will PM a Mod who may be able to help

You will nd to dismantle up to the PCB level and use either some isopropyl alcohol, or switch cleaner on the button contact pads :thumbsup

i have tock it to bits and its the plastic lugs that are broke,i cant glue them as they are just stuck on by about 1 mm , do you know if you can buy the plastic bits , would a picture be of any use,

Pic would help

If it's the buttons broke then yes you can buy the buttons individually, Ebay will be a good bet
