I am looking to buy the trim ring that goes around the center vent. It is more than trim, as it holds the vent. It is the part that screws into the dash, and holds the alarm led and vent piece down. I cannot find the part number anywhere. Any help would be great

Did you try looking on www.realoem.com (http://www.realoem.com)?

Sometimes things aren't categorized very well on that site, so if you have trouble finding it, let us know.

I don't seem to be able to find that specific part.
But look around on here...

good luck. I'm looking for the same, contacting my local stealership tomorrow morning.

Oh forgot... It's located under HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING > AIR DUCT. (second image set)

You know ... you can buy the parts from RealOEM.com, they'll ship 'em to you. You have to call them, 800-944-4264.

Or take the part number and plug it into pelicanparts.com. Here is the sandbeige one, http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/ksearch/pel_search.cgi?please_wait=N&forumid=&threadid=&command=DWsearch&description=64228383678&I1.x=0&I1.y=0

You can also use Maximillian's parts database (it looks like the BMW ETK & Realoem.com)...and you can also order from them as well.

The following link and diagram below is from Max's site (item #1) : http://www.bmwmobiletradition-online.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=GF83&mospid=47528&btnr=64_0205&hg=64&fg=05&hl=22

perfect...thanks. The closest I ever got was the section OUTFLOW NOZZLES/COVERS, and that sucked because I saw the grill part, but not the 'indirect' housing.


thanks again!!
