In search of a bolt for M2 comp

Revellion · 12-05-2023, 10:29 AM

Hello, guys! Looks like during my latest service with dashcam installation the bolt was lost (marked red)

I tried getbmwparts and realoem, and found that the piece that should be hold in place has 51718059700 partnum from a cowl trim https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...63#51718059700 (number 3 in here), but the bolt itself is not listed in there, and I have not even the foggiest idea where to look

Would be really grateful for some help, folks

I've had good luck with taking questions like this to the dealer. Since they have access to the full parts diagram and the experience to find it.

Often times bolts at the dealer are reasonably priced as well.

Sorry I know this doesn't directly answer your question but maybe it helps

It's not a bolt, and isn't on the page you linked. Under the realoem page that shows that plastic cover, it doesn't show the attachment rivet. I just looked on my M2C, and it's a black plastic rivet:

I recently put in some BMC filters and that stupid thing dropped down into the gap towards the windshield. Turned a 15 min job in 45+ after fishing it out with a flashlight, mirror and grabber tool.

I'm willing to bet you will find it down in that area if you look hard enough. Not sure it Really needs to be installed, but I did put it back in once I fished it out.
