Where can i find/buy

base1er · 07-27-2011, 12:28 PM

The interior "wood" trim on my passenger dash side and the rear/right door panel are coming off. IT looks like the inserts that they are supposed to lock into are worn and gone. Where can i buy the inserts? I dont want to go to eht Stealership. Autozone should have them no? Any help is greatly appreciated.

The trim clips that go into the door? Or the pegs that attach to the trim? Both are relatively inexpensive from the dealer. I think it's around 30 cents per clip. Red clips for the dash trim pieces and white clips are for the door trim.

Why did you put "Wood" in quotations

base1er · 07-27-2011, 12:58 PM

cause they dont feel like wood at all. Theyre more like faux wood..plastic..

base1er · 07-27-2011, 12:59 PM

Thanks BostonBeats.. Do i really have to go to the Stealership?

Well, it's real wood veneer coated in a varnish.

Thats right. Everything in a BMW is real. They dont make fake wood.

Well if you don't have one close to you then I guess you could order them online. I know ecstuning has them because I saw them last night. Tischer I'm sure has them as well.
But it will be about the same price at the dealer minus the cost of shipping.

Where should I buy the red dask clips? Seems like a waste of shipping to order online...
