Air cabin filter housing screws

AllydNYC · 07-23-2011, 12:51 PM

Most relevant area I could find to post this in. When changing my filter I lost a screw that secures the upper filter housing (#8). I can't find the part # for the screws and the threading on them is unique so Lowes or Home Depot doesn't carry it.

For something as cheap as a screw, just get one at the dealer.

Yeah, should of thought of that. Was getting something else off of getBMWparts.com anyway, thought I would just get a screw aswell.

If you are buying them from Tischer, just get a whole set so in case you loose another one you don't have to pay $4 shipping for a 30 cent screw. If you own an E9x, I suggest getting a whole bunch of fastener odds and ends like the screws that hold the underpanels in place. I've found that when you take the car to the shop, they always manage to lose a screw or two and never tell you about it because they figure you'll never notice.
