I'm lead to believe they are all the same, they get brittle over time and snap and break, they are literally pence from the dealers

yeah,i'll have to get some,they look like buggers to get off,there put on with blind rivets or something,gonna have to drill them out and rivet the new ones back on,happy days!!

They are easier to fit / remove than they look. To get the clips off just tap the blank plugs further in with a small screwdriver or similar (they will just pop out the other side). When you get the new ones you will see how they work.

The part numbers are 51711945568 for the black or 51711979334 for the white. I think they were about 30p each from BMW.

Hope this helps.

Easy to remove and fit, and cheap to buy. My wife gets through loads of these on her touring. Regularly replace a few at every service.
