Where to buy a replacement ashtray insert?
Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement center console ashtray to replace the one I have, which has a broken plastic tab at the bottom of the tray, which holds it in place, when not broken. I tried Ebay, BMW dealership and all that I am able to find is an ashtray replacement insert, but without the clear see-through plastic for ambient light. I was wondering if anyone else out there had to deal with same issue and was able to find the exact oem replacement with clear see-through plastic? Thank you

I have gone through the same exact issues following replacement under warranty.....the only replacement part listed does not have the light lens and was told by my service advisor that ere is nothing further they can do. I swapped the rear to the from and put the one without the lens in the rear.

It is very strange that even BMW dealership cannot get the same part ordered. The only one that's available is a solid plastic replacement, without the clear lens. Which would be just fine; however, at night you loose the "locating light" effect, which is one of the reasons why I bought a BMW and not some other cheap-made car in the first place.

VRS X5M, these are all solid black plastic (aftermarket) inserts: http://www.trademotion.com/parts/200...mponent=Insert . I can get one of these from BMW dealership or from eBay all day long. Problem is finding the original factory one, like I have a picture of. tx.

Did you ever find an exact replacement? For the time being, I used Velcro tape and placed at bottom of insert and in slot. When I press down, it stays in place. Please let me know of any updates on finding the exact part. Thanks |
