Which half?  IDK if any relays are in the cluster diagrams, I'd bet on a bad sender or defective SI board.
'08 Karmesinrot 128i 6MT
'86 Zinnoberrot 635CSi (M30B32/G265/3.46 torsen LSD)

Sold: '97 Montrealblau 318iS, '91 Brilliantrot 318i, '91 Brilliantrot 318iS

basically my tach, temp gauge and trip computer is wat doesn't work. my mechanic told me that the cluster is broken and i need a new one. but how does only half the cluster break? the needles still work as i hav made them dance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQNP37tzfqo)

so i'm just a little bit confused about the whole thing. wat ever the problem is, it also affects my A/C
