you can find part numbers here - http://www.bmw-etk.info/parts-catalog/c ... 7/01/49422

I then take those numbers to ebay or BMW.
You need -
Center tunnel plug (Schwarz) part no: 51 16 7053123 (around £15 each from BMW)
Plug, door opener, inside left (Schwarz) part no: 51 41 7053791 (around £10 from BMW)

No doubt cheaper from a breaker.

Thanks for the plug! Still got loads of these if anyone is interested! Damn sight cheaper than the dealer as well!

Only have the console covers… not the door handle one!

If you have a 3D printer or access to one, here is a link from Thingiverse so you can print your own.

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2418998

The designer suggests using PC (polycarbonate) vs PLA due to the expected heat build-up in the cabin of the car. PC is also stronger and should hold up quite well over time.

Below is a description of PC's attributes and uses from the Raise3D website.

"PC (Polycarbonate) is a strong thermoplastic 3D printing filament that characterized by its excellent impact resistance, high stiffness, heat resistance, and flame retardant properties. As a result, PC filament can absorb impact, prevent deformation or cracks, and maintain stability under high temperatures and flames. Due to its 110°C heat resistance, PC performs well in high-temperature environments, such as under the hood of a car. Also known for its impact strength, PC is commonly used for producing rigid parts, function testing, finished parts assembly, and manufacturing."

Said designer is our very own IamOrion... the guy who printed the ones I’m selling. As I said in my thread we’re collaborating together to bring these to members. I referenced the file in my thread for those fortunate to have a printer :)
