Dashboard buttons

Post by Livelee » Tue Apr 04, 2017 7:34 am

Hi, some but not all of our dash buttons are not 100% secured.  The plastic that clips them in is obviously worn and some times they will fall out.  Heater + / -, fan speed etc.

Is there a 3rd party supplier of these that anybody knows about?  I'd imagine BMW wanting a mint for replacements.

Many Thanks

Dan

They are available from the dealers, but only as a full set I seem to remember, and an eye watering £125
I bought a set of blue and red ones of eBay from a German company, but that's  all they offered.
As others have stated, a few are on EBay as individual pieces or some selling the full facia.
