Parts list for European dash upgrade (more) (archive)

The first 3 items on the list will only work if the interior color of your car is Sand. If you have a different color, I suggest you check with Eric Weber (SVTWEB). All other parts are the same for every color interior. Click on any part name for a photo of the part.

51 45 8 253 397 - Trim Panel w/storage bin, Sand
51 45 8 199 113 - Lower Dashboard, Sand
51 16 8 198 904 - Glove Box, Sand
51 45 8 233 510 - Trim Panel, Foot Controls, black
64 11 8 368 031 - Heater duct
51 45 8 192 765 - (QTY 2) Fillister Head Screw
51 13 1 906 872 - (QTY 2) Gasket

The following part can not be ordered from a US dealer:
32 31 1 095 786 - Lower Trim, Steering Column (must order this in Europe)

I had a friend in the UK order it from her local BMW dealer in Cornwall and it arrived from Germany in just a few days. Cost was 20 British Pounds. The timing worked out perfectly because she picked it up one day before flying to the USA to get married and the ceremony was in my house!

Total cost of the parts (including shipping) from Pacific BMW was $377.44. Parts invoice may be seen here.

Hope this helps. When I get some time, I'll put together a detailed web page with tips and tricks for this mod.
