r56 Wheel well plug

Hi all,

I noticed today after getting home from work that my passenger side fog light plug in the wheel well was missing. I just put my summer tires on yesterday and didn't notice it....maybe I was being delirious from the excitement of having the summers back on or something.

Anyone know where I can get a new one? (aside form a dealership)

I have an appointment next friday with the dealership for the recall aux water pump but I'm a bit nervous for driving around if it's rainy with all the electric components in there.

Thanks!

Mark

Not really; it's such a specialty part.
But you could grab the part number and order it from the dealer so they'll have it ready for you when your service is due.

This happened to me once before too. Luckily I didn't have any long term electrical issues. Order the part from the dealer and don't worry about it.

Thanks guys, I figured it wasn't a huge issue. Hopefully it doesn't rain much next week...

I emailed my service manager and sent her a picture of what I was talking about. Hopefully they can get one before next Friday.

Thanks again and enjoy the weekend!
