Hello: I am looking for the rear console piece, without seat warmer switch cutouts but with dc/cig outlets cutout, part number - in anthracite. I have searched and found the poplar number, but not anthracite. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's what I did for my poplar console piece with heated rear seats:

Go to your dealer's parts department, and ask the parts person to bring the exploded view of the rear console with the parts listing for the trim pieces up on the computer screen. You'll see an exploded view including the part you're referring to, and a listing of the different part codes and their descriptions. You can pick which one you want based on the description. There are several rear console pieces depending on how many holes you need, and what trim - they should have the anthracite with holes just for the dc/cig outlets.

juan2mini: The part number for the Anthracite rear center console trim without cutouts for heated seats but cutouts for dc outlets is 51 16 7 153 768.

Also the same piece in Poplar wood is 51 16 7 153 769.

Circle BMW (http://www.circlebmw.com) has the pieces for #103.00 plus shipping.

Interesting, since there have been a few other guys on this board that say that the poplar piece with DC outlets only is 51 16 7 141 077. That's the one I ordered from Circle BMW (but is on backorder currently).

That is interesting since I asked Circle BMW just yesterday and that is the part number they gave me. That same part number I got off of the bmwtis just before calling them to double check.

Many thanks for the information. I will be by the dealers this afternoon, computer said service needed @ 9,200 miles, to place an order. Once again, all information is greatly appreciated.

Well, one of us will be wrong, and the other one will be right, I guess. Post a picture when yours gets in...

Hello: Thank you very much for the part number for the anthracite rear console piece with dc-cig outlets but w/o seat heater. Called my dealer, they found the piece - the price is $126.50 - does that sound right? How much have you fellows been paying? Any information is greatly appreciated.
