The switch surround looks great, Jim! The fit and finish is top tier too. Thanks again.

Thanks Nathan. That pic looks much better than mine at showing the surface texture.

I have 12 painted pieces left from this batch.

Thanks Jim, was out of the office late last week, it was sitting on my desk when I got to work this morning. It looks great.

Forgot to mention that 2 of the holes will need screw clips, namely these 2 holes,

Screw clips are these, which I'm assuming everybody has plenty of :)

Received my paint surround yesterday. It looks incredible and thank you so much for doing this. I hate to ask for a part number for the screw clips.

best,

I installed mine today. Instead of the screw clips, I mounted mine on top of the old piece. After trimming off the top of the old one (you can see where it was broken), I put the new unit on top of the old, and then installed both into the steering column surround. I put the screw of the bottom left in first, and then the bottom right. Once that was done I then put the whole surround back in.

It looks fantastic! Thanks demetk-much improved over the factory piece. (edited to add that I turned my foglight switch back to the correct side up-Laphroaig has that effect sometimes)


What I was living with-entirely annoying and you can see the broken upper left corner.

Finally! Much improved over the factory component!

Got mine today. Very nice. I was going to ask about the two holes that the screws actually thread into but the answer is what I expected. Thanks!

Not sure of the BMW part numbers on the clips but I ordered a bunch of them from amazon. If they fit I'll post the dimensions of them.

Can anyone confirm that the below RealOEM image and ECS links are correct for the body nut and the accompanying self-tapping screw?

PHAT! :)

To anyone interested, I highly recommend one of these! Not made of some flimsy air duct aluminum, this is the real deal. +1 for quality here
