E92 interior dash trim

NJ328xi · 12-20-2015, 11:23 PM

Does anyone else have the problem with the trim that the starter button always breaking the clips? I've replaced them 3 times now. 1st set of clips off of amazon than a set from the dealership. It last s week at the most and it's very annoying. Any tips to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

All jokes aside I have never heard anyone with your trim problem. Where is it exactly breaking on the "push to start" or the actual trim holding it in?

Strange bro.
No issues with mine.

Seriously... you gotta cut back on the index finger push-ups.

I would really hate for you to Valet my car

this is where the 2 clips keep breaking.

Their are plastic clips that go into the dash and like a nail like pin that slides into the trim. Well the plastic clips keeps breaking.

Whoa whoa whoa...wait, you're telling us every time you start the car the whole left side of the dash trim comes off?!? That's not possible...it's 'push to start' not 'slap with your hand to start'

. (And is that actually your car?)

Ok now seriously OP, that's really not able to happen. The starter button is part of that trim, take it apart and see for yourself..very easy to do. l bet you'll see something not right with the clips, maybe the hole in the plastic dash behind that holds the clips in got a little bigger or something. But that can't be push button start related

The push button can come off like the vents, but it would need the trim to come off first, just to clarify for others.

I'd take it to a BMW specialist or shop to check out your issue. If you couldn't do it yourself then I would allow them to finally fix it.

It's not the push button it's self it's the trim its on. I have some pics and a video i put on YouTube

SHEEDI · 12-23-2015, 07:06 AM

OP, I would suggest to buy all new clips and do it yourself before you visit dealer, its not that difficult to replace all clips. may be trim is not aligned properly? may be you should check other forum members who live near by you, someone should be able to help you.

NJ328xi · 12-23-2015, 08:43 AM

I've replaced all the clips. Bought all new ones from the dealership. It's ok for a couple days that I'll come out to my car and it's popped out again.
I'll replace the clips it's no big deal. It's not rocket science I've done far more complicated projects on many cars. I just didn't know if anyone else had similar problems.
