Hope this may be your only problem.
What screws?

My 240d odometer just stopped working tonight. It’s a like new car with only 72k miles on it, Ive owned it a long time….

When I slightly pressed the reset button,,it would start moving again, at least until it got to 9/10ths, and then would stall unless I kept constant pressure against the reset button…. The main odometer would also stop.

I did repair the dimmer potentiometer, so it makes me wonder if perhaps I have something screwed down too hard or something - some sort of user error that impeded operations.

I haven’t put a lot of mile on the car in the last few years, just because if life, kids, etc. But I do love driving it, with a working odometer. So hoping you can tell me what screws were too tight, perhaps I caused a similar scenario….

My speedometer needle is also extremely smooth and bounce free on this car… fwiw…
