Request: Glove Box Catch

Post by kianbmwe21 »

Hello everyone,

I am trying to find a glove box catch for my E21.

There are two part numbers on realOEM (No.51161817655 & No.51161849300) and not sure which one I need.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

Glad this posting made it through!

For your car (pre Aug 79 production) you need either number, they are interchangeable. Looks like the *655 is still available from BMW for peanuts.
