Cost for widescreen Nav display frame? - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

I just upgraded my Navigation screen to the newer 16:9 format. I love it and wish I had done it sooner. I am missing one part however, the frame that goes around it. I just called the dealer and asked how much it would be for the part (P/N 65-52-8-385-451) and they quoted me $54.06 before tax. I was a bit shocked as it’s just a flimsy piece of plastic. Does this seem reasonable to you guys? Does anyone know of somewhere else to pick one of these up at a lower cost

Thanks

dgriner,

Where did you buy your 16:9 nav screen?

Where is the best place for this and the MKVI?

I bought both my 16:9 widescreen and my MKIV Nav unit from ebay. They usually have a few for sale. Just buy with someone with good feedback and you should have a good transaction.

The BMW list price in UK is £19.07 + tax, i got mine for £16.21 + tax

Allowing an exchange rate of 1.8 List price should be less than $38 +tax

I would try Pacific BMW or JMK BMW on east Coast.

I got mine for about $34 mailed. Call Circle BMW, I think they should be able to do the same if not better.

did you scoop the X5 grey one that everyone was avioding like the plauge? Even though the facia can be taken off and painted..easily?

I decided against bidding on it, but it went for hundreds les than a standard unit. Jus' cuz of the color.

Haha.. No, I saw that one too and kept away since it looked odd. I didn't realize it came out of an X5.
