E90 Ashtray Replacement

[Mike-R]

Whatsup gents,

Theres a DIY mod you can do that replaces the ashtray with a sunglass holder.

Do you any of you guys know what the part number is for the sunglass holder?

According to google its this, #51-16-7-132-376 :coolShake:

Also found this, its the actual DIY http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7049

Yes, Thats it. Thanks Razor,

Sneaking off to call BMW for a price. :tiptoe:

From memory when doing this you loose the 12V power point in the ash tray.

Once you have a price could you let us know it and if you do actually loose the use of this power point, cigarette lighter?

Good luck let us know...

Yes unfortunately you loose the power point (cig lighter). Im just not sure if you also loose the function of the lighter in the center console.

I am an occasional smoker but i dont ever smoke in any of my cars.

Meant to say, if i do loose the lighter in the ashtray its not a train smash... :smashScreen:

Agreed I never smoke in a car!

Would be interested to see the BMW Sa price and if they keep it in stock or ex Deutchland?

R481.05 incl VAT....

Im trying to find out if there is stock in SA.. But thats proving quite difficult at BMW Clearwater...

Let them order it in for you man. It's 10 days tops and I doubt there would be local stock.

I think its a cool mod.....
