Anyonec know where I can get these clips

Post by Dizbit » Fri Feb 07, 2014 7:40 pm

Can anyone help.

The two main quick fit fasteners on the cabin filter cover, are missing so the twist fasteners have nothing to lock in to. does anyone please know the part number or where I can get a set?

Put the last 7 characters of your VIN into Realoem (serial number) and you should find the part numbers in the vehicle trim section, then a trip to your local dealer should get you a couple.

Does anyone know the part number for the rivet type clip with the spring around it?

As per post #2 above.  Search in Realoem for the bits and you'll find the part number.  It's the same parts list everyone uses.  Probably a straight 1:1 £:$ conversion for price knowing BMW too.... >:(

What exactly are you looking for?  The twist rivets with springs for the AC cover at the back of the engine bay/screen base?  What year/version?

It could be this one:  51711916197

It's a pain to track down and I'm not 100% certain.

Dashboard, of all places!  The bit it should plug into is 51711947419 - that one is under heating & AC.  Absolutely no mention of a spring anywhere though.....hence my caution.  It might also come as a complete part with both ends, but the drawing doesn't appear to show it.

The BMW parts system is one where I frequently find I have to think way outside the expected area to find a part.  Even BMW Parts folks frequently have trouble. >:(
