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.
