Dakota Leather

- Canberra Beige

Alcantara Leather (Not sure how it looks, never seen it in person also)

Hello
I have a question.

I have an offer to buy knee pads from x5m

But unfortunately there is a problem. I have looked at yours photos and with yours knee pads come extra plastic extensions.

unfortunately, those that I can buy at a good price do not have it.
Is it possible to mount these knee pads without these plastic adapters?

and they look like this:

Or is it possible to buy these plastic adapters separately?

Brackets (plastic adapters) are not sold separate.
You can probably install the kneepads without the brackets, but I don't know for sure.
Though if you do, they might not be secure if bumped, make creaky noises etc.

atomic80 · 09-26-2022, 08:51 AM

Yeah I don't recommend getting the ones without. I remember those tabs and they're needed to fully secure these pads in place.

spit · 09-26-2022, 10:17 AM

From what I see there is parts number on this adapter.

But the picture is of poor quality and part number is not visible. Maybe someone has this number written somewhere?

Maybe can get this part somewhere

Not easy to find, I've seen few of these listings before when they sell kneepads for super low price without the brackets. As far as I know BMW doesn't sell these brackets separately ( https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=51_9175 ). You can only get these from junkyard/auto dismantlers.

Luckily I have not yet installed the set I bought from Erik, so here are some photos of the numbers

Seems odd the missing pieces are not included, ask the seller if he/she has them. They aren't needed with the non M trim piece that the knee pads replace.

You won't be about to install the knee pads w/o them, and least not properly/securely. And this install is a PITA so no reason to go through w/ it unless you have all the parts.

Does the piece that the knee pads replace have these brackets? If so, perhaps just use the ones from the parts you remove from yours?

Does work that way, since kneepads are taller brackets are required, but original trim piece doesn't have these.
