E90 vent sliders

[Solo Man]

Have bought myself a 2006 E90 320d manual from one of our Forum members and am looking for advice/info about replacing the vents in the dash as all four of them have their sliders missing. Apparently it is a common problem, these sliders just breaking off! Gizmo, your parts supplier (read scrap yard) would not be able to help me find good condition replacement vents? Or any one else for that matter? Thanks in advance!

Bruce craigs in Kensington will have them just negotiate a price for the set.

I haven't had that issue with my two e90s but I don't force things if they don't want to move. But my sister in laws e90 it's happened to two of them.

Do try to find replacements from scrapyards as DF suggests. A few months back I had BMW replace a central vent on my e90 for R1005.00 incl.
It could have been repaired but you know how the story goes.

Can't say the same. It's 22.51 here .

The agents pricing boggles my mind sometimes.
