E39 air con control prob

Hi I am considering buying an E39, which has a strange quirk on the aircon control.

On the passenger side, the unit has 2 'Red' increase symbols, but it works correctly (ie. one is increase, and one is decrease) I am told that it costs around £17.50 to replace the panel... but that sounds too good to me.

My question is..... Can the panel be replaced easily?? or just the button (ie. to reflect a Blue cold symbol, rather than 2 'Red' hot buttons).

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

BMW do not sell buttons. I had to buy a complete panel in order to replace fan speed buttons. Can't remember the price but it was quite cheap. Note that it has a white marker drawn on the surface if it is sold as a "button replacement kit" so you can only use the buttons, not the panel.

Perhaps SWMBO only liked it hot or hotter? ;-)
