Interior trim

[steve853]

Hi all,,

I am wondering if anyone can help with an interior trim issue I have. I have a 2007 X5 D SE and the top of my glove box has a section of trim missing. It looks like a single plastic panel covered with leather/ effect black material, can anyone help with sourcing a new/ second hand one?

I am the newest of newbies, having just bought an X5 20 minutes ago!

Regards

This is an easy fix,
Check out ebay for this bit as a 2nd hand part... it is a simple push fit.
You may have to buy a set of dash parts, but it won't be expensive.

I covered mine in carbon film wrap to get rid of the sun reflection glare.

Must admit, to have this trim missing is MOST unusual...

i checked eBay and nothing doing, might even have to buy a new one!

If you need to identify the part number, use Realoem (on line copy of BMW parts database) and use the last 7 characters of your VIN to get the right model up.  Bits you want will be in the Interior section - which has exploded views.

I just this moment did an E-bay search - "X5 E53 dash trim" and it came up with 9 offerings, in all wood variants + silver & single pieces....
and they were all top of the search list.
It's all there ,  just gotta look for it.

Thanks everyone.

The issue I have is that I am indeed a muppet, and have posted this question in the E53 forum not the E70 forum.

And there was me hoping for a quick, inexpensive fix...
