I thought this would be a fun spot to share information about parts (and services?) from your favorite online or local sellers. My favorite place to go is a pull-a-part yard. I like them bc you can feel free to rip up a car just like yours to see how things fit together. Also, interior trim pieces like trim clips, screws for the doors, plastic parts, etc mean nothing to these guys. Grab what you can carry and head to check out. Smaller trim parts are free or near zero cost.

Back when I did my speaker upgrade, I cocked up the passenger window switch. This has bothered me for awhile, but has been one of those things that I try to stop looking at.

Yesterday, I found a yard with THREE X5's (one '04 had BOTH tail lights, btw). Anyway, I found what I wanted and got TWO just in case one didn't work.

The 1st one I tried worked!

The best part? If it's a small interior part or one of those screws that BMW wants to sell for $3, they'll usually let it go for free. These cost me nothing when I also bought a radio. The plan for the radio may not work out, but I figured $25 wasn't bad to try.
