shine a torch onto the OBC - if the functions are now visible, it's just the light bar that has blown a fuse - do a search on bulb and OBC, and there'll be loads of old threads that'll help you

It's just the light bar that's blown. £20+ from BMW or 70p for a couple of bulbs to fit to the old one.
You're not going to be happy when you look up how much is involved in changing it!
