Plug of battery cover in roadster

Post by Panta Rhei » Mon Aug 15, 2022 9:24 am

Hi guys, I am missing plastic plugs in trunk over battery trim. Photo attached.
I know from realoem that I am missing 4x 07 14 7 120 304

What are the other 3 at the bottom? I cannot find them specified on realoem.

Are you certain that the 07 14 7 120 304 are not the required fasteners? I know, three vs four, but perhaps there's another point of contact, or, OMG, RealOEM has the wrong number specified.

Depends hoe desperate you are for the genuine articles.

If you know someone with another roadster you could measure them up, and get some from somewhere like Ebay, loads of ones on there like...

Or search the forums.. :)

To be honest I looked on Ebay and Amazon for a while, then I googled for "Z4 battery cover screws".

The thread from 2012 was the first hit. I just wish I could find the things I actually want myself so easily.

That was super helpful. I want my car to be as OE as possible. The urge... :evil:
