It's crack - United Bimmer Community

Just found out while cleaning the car

Any ideas how to glue it back or whatsoever?

**dinan540** · 05-05-2006, 01:03 PM

That sucks. Is it a piece of plastic with vinyl over it? I am a little confused by the perspective. Is it part of the door?

It's the B pillar trim panel. Nothing you can do but buy a new one, I think it's too thin to glue on its edge

You can try removing it, taping it together from the inside, then apply epoxy glue. But you'll still see the ugly crack

yea thats more like a break, however they are not expensive parts, and it really doesnt effect performance at all..

**zeaq328i** · 05-05-2006, 01:59 PM

Ok.that will be in my list for the future. Now i want to find epoxy glue for a temporary solution.

Dinan,
No plastic over it.Maybe it's the camera flash.

Experf,

: it does effect the performance

Well i bought the epoxy glue and tried to glue it.It's impossible to glue it seems there're so many crack around it.

So that means i calling gthe dealer tomkorrow to see they have it or not.

So which one is it?I know it's the number 3 part. But there are two.One is 300+ and the other is 60+

**komodo** · 05-08-2006, 08:36 AM

Looks like number 3 to me.

You want this one:
03 COVERING COLUMN-CENTER RIGHT SCHWARZ 1 05/1992 51438165328 $62.78

You are lucky the SOB (sultan of Brunei) didn't get his 328i individual with all-leather b-pillars. Those are the $300+ ones.

**zeaq328i** · 05-08-2006, 08:30 PM

^^Ex Prince Jeefreey's car. I doubt he uses it. One of the SOB unknown princess uses it. That's what they said.

Wow i just found my stering wheel is the individual series.

Just called the dealer. It's $103.50. Same price like the US$60+

Well i still look around for a better price.

I would still check with the dealer and if you are in the bmwcca see if they extend the discount. so far the dealer has beat everyone else on price (for me) YMMV.

**zeaq328i** · 05-10-2006, 03:21 AM

Just ordered one from the dealer today. 10% discount.They ordered it from Germany. Takes 4 weeks to arrive.
