No worries- happy to help. Here's hoping your dealer is able to make the change and order the correct parts. If they can, please let us know as it would mean other dealers should be able to order them as well.

 

i went back yesterday and told them about the PNs matching the anthracite color and the parts guy acknowledged that he remembered I specifically asked for the black so they made good and offered to credit my card. Prob wait till spring or until someone actually gets hold of the actual 13 parts. I did notice that realOEM has piano black as alternative PNs which is what I have.

 

FYI, I was just quoted $125 by a shop in St. Louis to paint the OEM parts gloss black if I bring him the trim pieces (2 Vents, Mickey, and shifter)

 

i did notice that when the parts guy brought out a anthracite vent pod the grey trim ring was already attached to the pod. so it looks like you're getting a whole pod unit.

 

I'm trying to find a source that carries the chrome line 2013 parts. Should be an easy way to refresh my 2012 non-chrome line interior. Has anyone contacted a dealer to get pricing/availability on these parts successfully?

 

Hi,

I'm not sure for the shift ring :

- 51169804630
- 51169808182 (chrome line)

because it's the same part number '12

I'm wrong ?

 

Mickey: 51459810000
L Vent: 51459810003
R Vent: 51459810004
Shift Ring: 51169804630


Out of these parts the 51169804630 is available


51169804630 - available , no chrome line

51169808182 - available , chrome line

Hope that helps.

 

Encouraging ECS, and thanks (looks like I'll be spending even MORE money with you, as I did with my VW)...

Unfortunately the one part that's available is the one part I don't want (gonna wrap it in vinyl to match, cheaper). I'm interested in the mickey and vents. Do you have any clue when they would be available?

Thanks again!

 

Current estimations are these will not be available for a month or so. I encourage you to check back on our site as we are always updating. And let me know if you need anymore parts.


Thanks

 

Just so I'm clear, these are for the blacked-out versions of those pieces?

Anyone have a quick how-to about how to pop those pieces off?

 

I'm come back from my dealer and those parts are availables now in Europe :

With Chrome line :

51459810001 = 42.55€ = 56.73$
51459810005 = 21,96€ = 29.27$
51459810006 = 21,96€ = 29.27$

W/o Chrome line i think cheaper

Not too much for a great update.

I think order mines by the end of the month

 

Here's PDF from Real OEM -

 

So, did we determine that this is a plug and play upgrade? In other words, can you just pop off the 2012 parts and the 2013's will fit without issue?

got the new 2013 mickey ring

Pictures soon ...

 

Awesome- where did you source them from? Somewhere online or your local dealer? All the places I'm checking still don't show them available- but that's also in the US (not sure where you're located).

Let us know and post up pics once you've done the swap- I think you'll be the first to have done it successfully.

Did you get the 2013 rings for side vents and shifter ring as well?

 

from my dealer in France. In order since 1 month.
The part come from BMW/MINI germany.

I don't have much time in this moment to do the swap and i want to do it properly so i'll take my time

 

I did not order them yet but next week i'll go to my dealer to do it.
I think if i had the mickey ring (i waiting 1 month), the side vents are available quickly now.

For the shifter ring like in one of my post up, the part number between the 2012 and the 2013 are the same, so i don't sure about it

 

My 2011 CM has silver ring (matching Mickey and vent rings) surrounding automatic shifter which I assume was changed to black for 2013.

 

Yes i know, but the part number on realoem.com are still the same ...

 

Just looked on realoem and the part number for the shifter ring is now 51459810002 but the cupholders trim are not listed at all.

 

I just did the same thing and i saw the new part number, but no chrome line ?

 

Can you please write the code for mickey? Because i cannot find it on REALoem

 

Best pictures tomorrow

 

Ah, so these are anthracite with chrome-line. That means the anthracite without chrome would just be solid black, er "anthracite," right?
